"Growing Momentum to Oust House GOP Leader Mike Johnson"
Speaker Mike Johnson's weakened position within the House GOP has sparked internal discussions about potential replacements, with some Republicans quietly positioning themselves for a future leadership shakeup. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who previously ran for the speakership, has been working to repair his relationship with Donald Trump and improve his standing within the party. Other potential contenders include House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, and House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik. While Johnson's position is currently bolstered by the GOP's inability to unite behind a successor and potential Democratic support, there is uncertainty about his long-term future, especially with some Republicans questioning whether he can hold onto his post next Congress.
