GOP Rep. Armstrong on Attempts to Oust Speaker Johnson: ‘I Don’t Know Who Would Want the Job at This Point’

Representative Kelly Armstrong said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that his fellow Republicans pushing an effort to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson did not have a replacement plan.

Armstrong said, “I do not support removing Mike as speaker. I think he has the hardest job in politics. I had the opportunity to come into Congress and serve with Mike. I think he has an incredibly tough job. He is doing it well. He made a call. The first question is whether they can get the rule on a committee. Second question is whether the rule gets on the floor. It does give every member an opportunity to vote on each of those issues.
