Stefanik calls Speaker Johnson ineffective, says he’s losing control of House GOP

Rep. Stefanik criticized Speaker Johnson's leadership and said most House Republicans prefer new leadership amid disputes over FBI notification provision in defense bill.

  • In a Wall Street Journal interview on Wednesday, Rep. Elise Stefanik said `He certainly wouldn't have the votes to be speaker if there was a roll-call vote tomorrow`, asserting House Speaker Mike Johnson's leadership is 'in a state of collapse.'
  • On Tuesday, after her provision was omitted, Stefanik criticized leadership on social media and said by Wednesday the FBI-notification measure would be reinstated after a 'productive discussion' with Johnson and President Donald Trump.
  • Stefanik said `It's all bubbling over,' calling Mike Johnson a 'political novice' with Republicans underperforming compared to Kevin McCarthy, and noted Trump 'certainly doesn't need Mike Johnson.'
  • Stefanik is supporting a push by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna to force a vote on a stock trading ban via a discharge petition, while Rep. Greg Steube warned House leadership refuses to act on insider trading.
  • Ahead of the midterm elections, Stefanik warned House Speaker Mike Johnson was losing control, while the FBI-notification provision was reinstated after talks with Johnson and Trump.
