Tempers flare and bills languish as Speaker Johnson confronts the same problems that vexed McCarthy - eviltoast
The new House Speaker is trying to rebuild the Republican's slim majority. But he's running into the same hard-right factions and divisions that his predecessor was unable to tame.

By most accounts, Speaker Mike Johnson inherited a House Republican majority in disarray after the sudden ouster of his predecessor last month.

But as Johnson, R-La., tries to rebuild that slim majority, he’s fast running into the same hard-right factions and divisions that Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was unable to tame. That’s disrupting the party’s agenda, shelving priorities and leaving gnawing questions about any leader’s ability to govern.
