At AmericaFest, a poll of Republican attendees revealed widespread dissatisfaction with Speaker Mike Johnson’s leadership. Nearly 59% of respondents said Johnson should not remain Speaker, while only 22% expressed approval of his performance.
The next step is to remove Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. You cannot have a presidential water boy as a Speaker. Totally goes against the constitutional Separation of Powers

The results highlight growing frustration among conservatives, who are rallying behind President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda. Securing the border and deporting illegal immigrants was identified as the top priority for Trump’s administration by 63% of respondents, eclipsing other issues like pardoning Jan. 6 participants and cutting the national debt.
@SpeakerJohnson should stay as speaker so it doesn't mess up Trump's inauguration. After that, then maybe look at someone else.

I agree with this! GOP lawmakers need to take note of what voters think and work with Trump this term. 🇺🇸

These results underscore the divide within the GOP, as grassroots conservatives call for stronger alignment with Trump’s vision and new leadership in the House.
