TL;DR Summary

Conservative outrage over the spending deal negotiated by Speaker Mike Johnson has fueled speculation about the possibility of a motion to vacate, similar to what happened to his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy. Some Republicans are considering forcing a vote to remove Johnson due to dissatisfaction with the spending deal, but others believe it's premature. Johnson argues that the deal is the best possible outcome given the divided government. While some Republicans criticize Johnson openly, Democrats are divided on whether they would support his removal, with some suggesting they would if he worked with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on legislation.
