The ousting of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy last year has had significant repercussions for the House Republicans, leading to nearly a month of uncertainty before Mr. Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, was selected as McCarthy's replacement. McCarthy has since reflected on the events, suggesting that the Republican majority began to wither following his removal, stating they 'lost the majority' when he was removed. He has also commented on the current political dynamics, advising Speaker Mike Johnson against fearing a motion to vacate and dismissing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's threats as 'all an act'. McCarthy, the first speaker in history to be ousted, believes that a similar motion to vacate the current speaker is unlikely to succeed, a sentiment he shared on @FaceTheNation.
