Recently, there has been significant political maneuvering within the Republican Party, particularly surrounding the speakership of Mike Johnson. Following a threat from far-right members regarding a potential motion to vacate the speaker's chair, Johnson sought advice from unexpected quarters, including firebrand GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida.
Gaetz advised Johnson to focus on achieving conservative wins in the coming weeks to shore up support. Gaetz emphasized the importance of taking a fighting posture and not rolling over on key issues like the Ukraine supplemental funding. Johnson, in turn, expressed his commitment to delivering wins for House Republicans.
