Fox News
House Republican critics of Speaker Mike Johnson indicated to Fox News Digital he would have an uphill climb to win support again in the next House GOP Conference leadership races.
Johnson was elected speaker in October in a strongly unanimous House GOP vote, with Republicans hungry for unity after three weeks of turmoil following ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s ouster.

The Louisiana Republican now finds himself in a similar situation to his predecessor, with a small but vocal group of lawmakers on his right flank calling for his immediate removal, through a process known as motion to vacate, for working along bipartisan lines on critical legislation. The push is being made by Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.; Thomas Massie, R-Ky.; and Paul Gosar, R-Ariz. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
