The House GOP's structural problems are colliding all at once, with rank-and-file Republicans bewildered on how things will get back to normal.

Why it matters: House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has a long list of must-pass priorities ahead of Sept. 30 that will require him to navigate tensions between the different factions of his conference.

Looking ahead to September, there's a lot that needs to get done.

The big picture: While conservative hardliners are in agreement that they want to renegotiate parts of the speakership deal, they haven't publicly said what they want changed.

The bottom line: Multiple Republicans noted that tensions are running high after seven consecutive weeks of session, likening the current mood of the conference to a "long family road trip" where cooler heads are likely to prevail after a break.
