James Comer predicts Mike Johnson will remain speaker despite in-party resistance

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) indicated that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has a trump card in his deck, which will prove to be invaluable once Congress conducts its House speaker vote next month.

Many Republicans are becoming increasingly frustrated over Johnson’s leadership in the House, with the latest point of friction over his 1,547-page spending bill, which many have scrutinized. However, Comer expressed doubt that Johnson could lose his top position in the House, suggesting he is who President-elect Donald Trump wants in the position and, “in the end,” will get enough votes.
