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’m every single photo I’ve ever seen of him, he just looks confused to hell. Like he’s having super early dementia.
I mean I know he’s just plain evil, but he looks confused as hell, and Patel always looks awkward as fuck.
It’s all the drugs. Poppers probably. They are popular in the gay community.
Jeffries and Schumer should have both stepped down after the embarrassing 2024 losses.
Good riddance racist loser.
They’re eating their young. I’m sending (yet another) e-mail to our RethugliKKKan Senator, asking if she regrets not removing it from office as I demanded so many times in the past. Her reply will be priceless.
Welcome to the club of the ex-future leaders of the Republican party.
Private equity, investment banking, and runs a SuperPac. They landed pretty well.
Was that an actual book?
That’s hilarious. I’ll keep an eye out for it on the resell books.
I don’t know… pretty sure, behind closed doors, lil man LOVES him some humiliation!
You know you’re actually right about that? No joke. That’s actually how they are.
I was struggling yesterday to remember whst this guys name is. He just carries trumps diaper bag now and rubber stamps his crimes. He didnt quit leadership, he got sidelined. Like all trumps allies, its only a matter of time until trump backstabs or scapegoats them.
Next ghoul up.
Mr Spineless slithers off like the spineless blob he is hoping no one notices
He’s going to have a lot of time on his hands now and will depend on his son to heavily monitor his porn intake.
He’s still going to be in the house. He didn’t lose his election.
Bye bye Mike
Whomever leads Republicans in the House will be a sleazy little shit who lives to suck Trump’s stinking little toadstool.
well that narrowed it down…
Brave Sir Johnson ran away…
Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations
Yeah, of his own belly button.
Around here, we refer to him by his full Christian name, Gymnasium B. Jordan.
Handjob Jim “investigated” the boners of young wrestlers.
He’ll fit in well with trump. Trumps speeches about male asses are really unnerving. How would you like to be in that crowd listening to him drool.
Gotta get your résumé ready and sent to Fox News huh Mikey?…
Gym fucking Jordan? Are you fucking kidding me? How is he thinking this is the moment for pedophile protectors to take the reins? JFC
For them, protecting pedophiles right now, is a requirement…not an option. Democrats are going to be investigating everyone, so they need someone in charge with experience at covering shit up.
Democrats are going to be investigating everyone,
One can only hope, but it’s still to be seen.
Jeffries seemed to indicate it’s not a priority
Yeah my hope is that Jeffries and Schumer are votes out of leadership. Otherwise it’s gonna be status quo bullshit all over again.
Shhh, let them do it. MAGA is radioactive at this point.
Dem leaders like Schumer, Pelosi and Jeffries are also toxic. No one voted FOR the centrists, they voted against the republicans. Centrist leaders need to know that that they and their policies are hated, with only slightly less fire than republicans.
These people are long since detached from reality
