As President-elect Donald Trump makes key staff appointments, two Republican seats in the House are now empty.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson may be in 'dangerous territory' as President-elect Donald Trump appoints key staff positions, momentarily pulling Republican seats from Congress.Punchbowl News founder Jake Sherman posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday pointing out Johnson's position: 'Between Stefanik and waltz going into the administration, house republicans will have a very tiny majority come the beginning of the 119th. Could be 219 or 220.
'Agranoff noted that Johnson will have to 'work even harder to maintain cohesion within the Republican caucus' and could face 'increased pressure to satisfy both moderate and far-right factions within the part.'Continuing, Agranoff said: 'This could hinder his ability to advance a unified agenda, especially on high-stakes issues such as budget approvals, debt ceiling negotiations, and any legislative priorities where bipartisan support might be slim.
