Carlos Curbelo: If MTG Moves to Oust Speaker Johnson, It Will Not Go Very Far

EXCERPT:

CURBELO: "Well, Rev, Republicans do not want to go through another leadership battle, at least not most of them, including some of the eight who voted to oust Kevin McCarthy. Truthfully, a lot of Democrats don’t want to go through another fiasco, another embarrassment when the House is leaderless for two, three weeks. So I do think that even if Marjorie Taylor Greene does move forward with this, I don’t think it will get very far. Mike Johnson has learned what every other speaker has shown here, at least Republican speakers. In order to make the House a stable place that can pass big pieces of legislation, bipartisan cooperation is needed. You will see Mike Johnson leaning on Democrats to get this national security package passed. It will likely get more Democratic votes than Republican votes again, but that’s the only way for the House to move forward. The speaker has realized that he can only count on bipartisan majorities for these kinds of must-pass bills."
