The House speaker told staff he will not run for House minority leader.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is stepping down from Republican leadership.
The Louisiana Republican announced on Wednesday morning on an all-staff call that he will not run for House minority leader for the new Congress next year, following Tuesday’s historical Democratic landslide takeover of the House of Representatives.
It’s not clear yet if Johnson has anointed a successor to lead the Republican caucus. Representative Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has already thrown his hat into the ring and announced he’s running for House minority leader. According to Punchbowl News, Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations.
The current number two Republican in the House, Representative Steve Scalise, also announced that he is running for caucus leader.
I wish Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer would quit too, and open the door to new blood for the democrats.
So long, you Christian nationalist piece of dog shit.
Saw the word Minority in his new job title and was worried he might get rounded up by ICE who identified him with AI
Zionist prostitutes always end up discarded like used tampons when they’ve served their purpose.
Byebye corpo leech.
This fucker gives Keebler elves a bad name.

I’ve never seen anyone know less while walking so fast that he was nearly jogging - away from people asking questions.
REPORTER: Speaker Johnson, you’ve announced that you aren’t running for House leadership next year, can you provide us a few words as to wh-
JOHNSON: Sorry, I’m not aware, I haven’t read anything on that 🏃♂️💨
I think Jimmy Kimmel or Daily Show did a supercut of him recently not knowing anything, and it was hilarious.
Mike now has more time to keep his and his son’s johnson away from porn. Mike can spend more time with his plastic trad wife.
Keep away? But it sounds like a family activity they have if you ask me 🥴
If the Republican party wants to lean into the whole rapist protector image it’s been cultivating, having Gym Jordan as your minority leader makes perfect sense. No one denies rape like Gym.
Of course he’s a cowardly lil bitch 😂
Yah, but he probably feels “Mission Accomplished” with as much of Project 2025’s goals achieved. Now he does a fake fall on his sword. Fake fake fake.
Gym Jordan thinks he’s “new blood”?
Did he get a transfusion from the neonatal intensive care unit?
Idk he’s probably talking about r@ping little girls or something.
Good riddance to bad rubbish
He has porn to hide from his son, with his burner phone.
I hope prison will do to him what he did to the USA
