On Wednesday night, as House Republicans were rethinking whether Mike Johnson should keep the speaker’s gavel next year, Rep. Troy Nehls pointed out the problem with those questions.
“Who’s going to do it?” the Texas Republican wondered. “If it’s not Mike Johnson, then who is it going to be?”
Some Republican lawmakers think they’ve landed on an answer. A couple of them are openly offering support to Elon Musk, the billionaire and Trump adviser who almost single-handedly tanked a bipartisan spending package this week.
