Mike Lee predicts demise of Johnson speakership, calls for 'DOGE speaker'
Fox News
Sen. Mike Lee predicts that House Speaker Mike Johnson will not remain speaker, calling for Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy to fill the role next.
The senator went on to say if he is correct, the next speaker should be a "DOGE speaker," a reference to the Department of Governmental Efficiency. President-elect Donald Trump tapped Musk and Ramaswamy to lead the effort to advocate for reduced government spending. Alex Nitzberg is a writer for Fox News Digital.
"Vivek, Elon if you're watching, please sign up, America needs you," Lee said.
