Will John Boehner Be Ousted as Speaker?

Speaker John Boehner’s allies “are concerned after Friday’s setback that his critics inside the Republican Conference may try to oust him as speaker if — as expected — he puts a long-term DHS funding bill on the House floor next week. While Boehner shrugs off such speculation, close friends believe such a move is a real possibility,” Politico reports.

Said one GOP lawmaker close to Boehner: “There is a lot of speculation about this. People are watching for this very, very closely.”
