House GOP leadership served notice they could be booted if they blow 2024 election

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is not the Republican in the House whose future hangs in the balance due to a fractious caucus, with the entire leadership facing a revolt if the GOP loses the chamber in the 2024 election.

According to a report from Politico, speculation is running rampant that Johnson may not last as Speaker until November with more than a few far-right members sharpening their knives and plotting to boot him in much the same manner they ousted former Speaker. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) just months ago.

Politico is reporting, "A growing number of House Republicans are increasingly frustrated with Johnson’s leadership and whispering about whether he can hang on to his role after 2024 — if he even makes it that far. Despite serving barely three months as speaker, the Louisianan is already facing an immediate threat from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, who is openly disparaging him and suggesting she may try to boot him from the speakership."

Texas Rep. Pete Sessions admitted that, even if Johnson lasts until November, a loss of the House would mean the end for him in a leadership position, explaining, "It’s up to him to win or lose. And if he loses, he will leave."

The report goes on to note that the current House GOP leaders could also see their heads on the chopping block, with the report stating, "Broadly speaking, if House Republicans put up a lackluster showing this fall, there’s no guarantee that any member of their leadership — including Johnson, [Rep. Steve] Scalise and [Rep. Tom] Emmer — would be safe."

According to Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK), "If we go back in the minority, do we need to take a different direction as we go forward as a conference? I think the entire leadership team would be looked at.”
