The wonkish Louisiana conservative appears poised to break the House GOP’s speaker stalemate.Could House Republicans finally be on the cusp of a breakthrough in their search for a speaker?, and this time there was no backbiting, no ultimatums, no snarky comments to reporters — just cheers and an overwhelming sense of relief.
But the lack of vocal opposition and surfeit of genuine enthusiasm that was aired last night on opposing sides of the House GOP marked a significant shift after three weeks of chaos.Johnson is “the right guy at the right time,” said Rep. Chip Roy , a conservative firebrand who pushed hard in the other direction,Said Rep. Ken Buck , who voted to remove Kevin McCarthy as speaker then helped block Rep.
“Democracy is messy sometimes, but … this Republican majority is united,” Johnson asserted just before 11 p.m., surrounded by rowdy and relieved colleagues. Republicans would be “ready to govern,” he promised, running the House “like a well-oiled machine.” Should he secure the needed votes Wednesday at an expected noon floor vote, out will go such ideas as empowering a caretaker speaker pro tempore, forging a bipartisan governing coalition with Democrats, or — in one fanciful brainstorm bandied about yesterday evening,Those scenarios will evaporate should Johnson win the gavel. What will fill that void are scads of questions about who Johnson is and how he plans to run the House.
