US EditionNBC: Some House Republican women are in open revolt against Speaker Mike Johnson
House Republican women express frustration over lack of leadership roles and policy influence, with several planning to leave before the 2026 cycle, risking GOP female representation decline.
- This week, House Speaker Mike Johnson is facing an organized revolt from House Republican women, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, who signed a petition and criticized his leadership.
- Frustration stems from underrepresentation and sidelined priorities, as some House Republican women say they feel passed over and recent weeks' fights over the Jeffrey Epstein files and Rep. Cory Mills have intensified tensions.
- This week, Rep. Elise Stefanik reinforced dissent by signing Luna's petition and criticized Johnson, who said, `'Men and women are different in this way, is that men can compartmentalize things,'` on the `Katie Miller Podcast`.
- Currently there are 33 female Republicans in the House, down from 36 in 2023, as multiple high-profile Republican women like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene leave or run for other offices.
- Next week, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Rep. Nancy Mace will meet to discuss shared frustrations, while Winning for Women has met with 60 prospective candidates across 32 states.
