Read previewTry as he might to corral the chaotic GOP caucus, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson's job as a leader is impossible with the current crop of Republicans in Congress. Johnson had only been in Congress for six years before he took the spotlight in October 2023 as the replacement for ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy. And given how traumatizing finding a replacement for McCarthy was, Republican representatives don't seem too eager to go down that tumultuous road again any time soon. AdvertisementJoining leadership well after the House rules were established, it's difficult for him — or any other GOP speaker — to implement any changes until the next congressional session.

Ideological battles among House Republicans are not a new phenomenon on Capitol Hill. But in recent years, conservative frustrations have boiled over, leading to the actual ouster of a GOP speaker. President Bill Clinton, right, shakes hands with House Speaker Newt Gingrich at the US Capitol on January 24, 1995. And the next Republican speaker, even a lawmaker as conservative as Jordan, will also have to navigate those choppy waters. House Republicans over the past 30 years could largely spare a few defections during the times when it held the majority, but with the current majority being so close, it no longer has that luxury.
