Johnson himself has dismissed the ouster threat, saying he would never be able to do his job if he operated out of fear for his own political future
U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson walks through the U.S. Capitol Building at Capitol Hill in Washington on April 16.U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson looks set to push forward this weekend on a $95 billion aid bill for Kyiv, Israel and other allies, despite a firestorm of protest from hardline Republicans that could lead to an attempt to oust him.
“He’s shown tremendous courage,” Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick told Reuters. “He’s not allowing the noise to get to him.” Republican Representative Max Miller, an early critic of Johnson’s speakership, now credits him for quickly adopting the national perspective necessary for the top Republican in Congress.
Many House Republicans fear that ouster would mean unnecessary chaos months before the Nov. 5 election that will determine control of the White House, the Senate and the House.
