Push to Oust Speaker Mike Johnson by House Freedom Caucus
Members of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus and their allies are signaling that the push to oust Speaker Mike Johnson is not gaining traction within the Republican base. Despite Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's efforts, the GOP voter base seems more concerned about issues like border security than internal party politics.
Key Points

- Little traction for motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson
- Concerns about border security overshadow party politics
Pros
- Highlighting the priorities of the GOP base
