I’ll be curious if the democrats step in. Johnson did the right thing getting the bill passed, but he’s still a garbage human being and a terrible leader.
I thought I saw a headline last night that the democrats in the house said they would vote to table any effort to remove Johnson.
They have already said that they would: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/democrats-house-speaker-mike-johnson-motion-to-vacate-b2537337.html
She's just spewing shit, as always.
He is terrible, but he's better than any replacement, he's shown a willingness to work with Dems, and most importantly, if he ever breaks any promises, the Dems can sick him to the wolves.
They’d save him. He’s the least awful among a menagerie of traitors.
Who could they possibly replace him with who wouldn’t also be a dumpster fire?
Article I read a couple of days ago said they will. But who knows? There's no love lost between the parties.
It is pragmatic to keep the House from being without a speaker, and he hasn't broken a deal yet. They are trying to keep the House functioning somewhat by tabling a vote, but if it came to a vote for a new speaker all the Dems will most likely vote Jeffries again.
