With little time to spare before a shutdown deadline, Speaker Mike Johnson will have to navigate the same political currents that did in his predecessor.
Ultraconservative House Republicans have panned the $1.66 trillion agreement Mr. Johnson made with Senator Chuck Schumer, the New York Democrat and majority leader, saying it is unacceptable.
I mean, yeah, that’s what they usually do. The Freedom Caucus exists solely on the principals of contrarianism, they say “no” to everything. Did they convince enough of anyone else to join with them? No? Then it’s just your average Tuesday.
It is not clear whether disgruntled right-wing Republicans will try to depose Mr. Johnson as they did his predecessor. But they have already signaled that the latitude some of them afforded him during his first weeks in the job is vanishing, and that their patience is wearing thin with his capitulations to Democrats.
Yes, this is why it was such a stupid idea to have a vote to oust the Speaker if a single person was unhappy. That’s like the non-secret of the the Freedom Caucus, they’re always unhappy.
