The House speaker told staff he will not run for House minority leader.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is stepping down from Republican leadership.
The Louisiana Republican announced on Wednesday morning on an all-staff call that he will not run for House minority leader for the new Congress next year, following Tuesday’s historical Democratic landslide takeover of the House of Representatives.
It’s not clear yet if Johnson has anointed a successor to lead the Republican caucus. Representative Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has already thrown his hat into the ring and announced he’s running for House minority leader. According to Punchbowl News, Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations.
The current number two Republican in the House, Representative Steve Scalise, also announced that he is running for caucus leader.
So long, you Christian nationalist piece of dog shit.
I wish Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer would quit too, and open the door to new blood for the democrats.
Zionist prostitutes always end up discarded like used tampons when they’ve served their purpose.
Saw the word Minority in his new job title and was worried he might get rounded up by ICE who identified him with AI
Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations.
“We have investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.”
This fucker gives Keebler elves a bad name.
Byebye corpo leech.
Make his porn habits public.
LOL, bravely running away, away!
I’ve never seen anyone know less while walking so fast that he was nearly jogging - away from people asking questions.
REPORTER: Speaker Johnson, you’ve announced that you aren’t running for House leadership next year, can you provide us a few words as to wh-
JOHNSON: Sorry, I’m not aware, I haven’t read anything on that 🏃♂️💨
I think Jimmy Kimmel or Daily Show did a supercut of him recently not knowing anything, and it was hilarious.
He doesnt want to be minority leader because then he would have to persecute himself and try to prevent himself from voting.
Oh so that news he sees.
☝️
Well yeah he’s never been a leader. His only job has been playing dumb and obsufcating. He’s not a guy to lead a charge and fight.
Course neither is Hakeem Jeffries so call and write your reps today and tell them no on him for Speaker.
Gym Jordan knows how to cover up sexual assault and that’s just the kind of leadership the Republicans need.
Mike Johnson did it for the president without ever drawing attention to the cover up. As speaker he would use the calendar and holiday schedule to sideline votes in a way that took real legislative understanding. He was actually competent and seeing him go is a big hit to the administration.
If he was more competent, he’d probably not have hitched his lips to trump’s left nut.
Of course he’s a cowardly lil bitch 😂
Mike now has more time to keep his and his son’s johnson away from porn. Mike can spend more time with his plastic trad wife.
Keep away? But it sounds like a family activity they have if you ask me 🥴
