Speaker Johnson Gonna Get McCarthyed?
“Conservative outrage over the top-line spending deal negotiated by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is fueling speculation over whether he could meet the same fate as his predecessor and have his gavel yanked away.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) explicitly left open the possibility of forcing a vote on removing the Speaker, known as a “motion to vacate,” over the weekend spending deal.”
The House Republicans are seething( well many of them and with a razor thin majority thats all they need)thus causing serious issues for their new Speaker. The GOP must walk a fine line because ousting their 2nd Speaker would add to the perception of complete dysfunction and inability to govern. That may not matter much to the burn it all down faction of the party, however, whose base seem to desire a healthy dose of turning everything inside out just for the hell of it. The deadlines to keep the lights on loom large and are coming up very soon.
