Some Republicans are urging President-elect Donald Trump to reaffirm his support for Speaker Mike Johnson.

Summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson faces growing Republican dissent over his handling of government funding, potentially jeopardizing his reelection as speaker on January 3.

Allies are urging Donald Trump to reaffirm his support for Johnson to avoid a prolonged leadership fight, which could delay certification of Trump’s 2024 election victory on January 6.

Johnson’s bipartisan spending bill, criticized by Trump, narrowly averted a government shutdown but failed to include Trump’s core debt-limit demands.

Some Republicans warn that a speakerless House would disrupt critical legislative processes, including election certification.

    More like they created a legal theory that if you’re not certified on Jan 6, then there’s no process to handle the transition and so it’s all up in the air

    Then, they assumed every president would use this “loophole” if only they could

    Everything is projection with them
