As House Majority Whip Tom Emmer scrambled to secure support from Republican members in the race for House speaker, Punchbowl News’ Jake Sherman reported that there was considerable “buzz” within the GOP conference about electing Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson. Four minutes later, Sherman’s colleague, John Bresnahan, added that “several” House Republicans believed Johnson was the “only” member of the conference who could win on the House floor. The problem was not with the reporting.
While Jordan faced considerable pushback from much of the GOP conference — enough to derail his bid — Johnson appears to enjoy broader support from Republicans, and his odds of success are better.
