Efforts to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson are intensifying as Republican hardliners, frustrated over being sidelined, are losing confidence in him. Lawmakers Mike Gallagher and Ken Buck quitting Congress further weakens the GOP's slim majority. Johnson faces a potential ouster over Ukraine aid vote, with GOP Rep. Mike Lawler expecting a floor vote post-recess. House Republicans, controlling 217 seats after Gallagher's departure, can only afford to lose one vote. Johnson's support within his caucus is crucial to his job security.
