Speaker Johnson served notice hardliners are about to begin 'nasty-infighting' for control

Rep. Micheal Johnson's honeymoon as the newly elected House speaker is already coming to an abrupt end as far-right members of his Republican Party caucus are letting him know that they are not ready to relinquish the power they have over the majority as they get back to work.

According to a report from Politico, the Louisana Republican may find it was easier to be elected speaker than it is to try to exert influence over his colleagues who are still feeling the bruises over the search to replace ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

At issue is the key issue that led to McCarthy's handing over the gavel: budget negotiations.

According to the Politico report, the "nasty-infighting" among assorted House GOP factions is once again about to commence.

Politico is reporting, "Johnson wants to pass a short-term spending patch until January or April to buy more time for Republicans to pass each of their full-year funding bills, but he’s already getting hard resistance from a handful of right flank members."

Far-right Rep. Andy Biggs has already served notice that Johnson is about to face resistance from at least five GOP lawmakers who could doom any budget deal unless it meets with their approval.

According to Biggs, "I don’t even want to think about something lasting until January or April. That would be folly," before adding, "I don’t believe I’m the only one”

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) added they are going to need some concessions from Johnson, explaining, "... there will need to be some conservative victories in there to make it palatable. Border. Some sort of cuts.”

Politico's Jordain Carney is reporting that Johnson also has to deal with "Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL.), the architect of ousting McCarthy from the speakership, is openly sparring with multiple members, including taking aim at a key committee chair," as well as New York GOP House members attempting to boot Rep. George Santos (R-NY) out over ethical concerns at a time when the GOP holds a razor thing majority in the House.
