“Speaker Mike Johnson is a political survivor, weathering crisis after crisis since his unlikely ascent two years ago,” CNN reports.
“But now, the battered House leader is entering what could be the most difficult stretch of his speakership — facing attacks from all sides with little reinforcement from his most important ally, President Donald Trump.”
One GOP lawmaker told Johnson his leadership was “slipping away,” that the frustration members are feeling is “boiling over” and that “morale has never been lower.”
