Punchbowl News: “And the 119th Congress will kick off with drama. Speaker Mike Johnson is facing an alarming revolt from conservative hardliners. Does this sound familiar? President-elect Donald Trump has been lobbying Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) on Johnson’s behalf, as we scooped for you on Thursday. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), a frequent Johnson critic, is backing him. But this may not be enough.”
“Johnson has a tenuous single-digit majority, while a dozen hardliners have publicly questioned whether he deserves to remain speaker.”
“Let’s be clear: It’s entirely possible that Johnson could lose the speakership today or this weekend, or that the balloting goes more than one round.”
Washington Post: Can Johnson win? Either way, it will be messy.
