Republicans are privately—and publicly—considering dumping their own House speaker over the spending deal.

Less than three months into Mike Johnson’s tenure as speaker of the House, some House Republicans are already experiencing buyer’s remorse.

Texas Representative and Freedom Caucus member Chip Roy on Monday publicly raised the possibility of dumping Johnson as speaker.

    Historically, voters have always blamed the ones making extra demands for shutdowns.

      Exactly. Republicans will always blame Democrats but voters in the middle (uninformed) will just blame the side going nuts over it.

      Look at what Hunter Biden did today. House Republicans were trying to hold him in contempt for not testifying (in private). He showed up at the hearing and offered to testify publicly. Republicans looked like fools. They went nuts.
