The GOP is undergoing a post-Trump transformation as non-MAGA Republicans seek to redefine their identity. House Speaker Mike Johnson's actions are seen as a potential catalyst for this shift, resonating with moderate conservatives disenchanted with Trump's chaos. Despite some opposition, there is skepticism about ousting Johnson close to a crucial election.
While some don’t agree with how Mike Johnson has run the Republican conference and would like to see him gone, there remains skepticism about ousting a sitting speaker for the second time in six months and so close to a critical election. https://t.co/briBz60Jl3
