WASHINGTON — As Speaker Mike Johnson marks one year on the job Friday, he’s fighting hard to preserve House Republicans’ razor-thin majority — and his speakership. I’m going to be the speaker of the House,” Johnson said in a recent sit-down interview with NBC News at a campaign stop in Hellertown, Pennsylvania. "It's going to be a free-for-all" if Republicans lose the House and Trump loses the White House, a third House GOP lawmaker added. 2 GOP leader, Scalise also has not spoken publicly about what he’d run for in the minority. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., is expected to run for minority leader if Republicans lose the House.

U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas holds a press conference at a U.S. Border Patrol station on January 08, 2024 in Eagle Pass, Texas. House Republicans are preparing to take another stab at impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a week after the same effort failed in an embarrassment for Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La. This time around, Republicans are confident they will have the majority vote to impeach now that House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., has returned to Washington after cancer treatment, which prevented him from breaking last week's 215-215 tie. If Republicans eke out a majority vote against Mayorkas, he would become only the second cabinet member in U.S. history to be impeached. The White House has supported Mayorkas, condemning the impeachment effort as a political distraction by Republicans, who refused $20 billion of border security funding in a bipartisan Senate deal last week.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy visited the U.S.-Mexico border in the Arizona district of Rep. Juan Ciscomani earlier this month. Juan Ciscomani and Eli Crane both flipped Democrat-held seats in the 2022 midterm elections, helping Republicans eke out a small majority in the House. They live close to each other and their children even attend the same school. But the first-term Arizona lawmakers are now on opposite sides of a still-simmering intraparty fight over the leadership of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.). Mr. Ciscomani has embraced Mr. McCarthy, while Mr. Crane was the only freshman Republican not to vote for him in January’s marathon balloting for speaker and believes conservatives should use their leverage to challenge GOP leaders.
