Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign emphasized two key promises far and beyond any others: to lower grocery costs—and inflation overall—and to enforce mass deportations of scary brown and Black immigrants (even those who are in the country legally). Already, Trump has shrugged his shoulders at the first promise, saying there’s little he can actually do to lower prices. "Look, they got them up. I'd like to bring them down. It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard,” he said. Now Trump’s “Border Czar” Tom Homan is also walking back his mass deportation promise.

Mike Johnson's time as House speaker could be coming to an unceremonious end.House Republicans and their real leader, Donald Trump, are furious with Johnson over the government funding mess that unfolded last week. Multibillionaire Elon Musk and Trump scuttled a deal Johnson made with Democrats to fund the government for three months, threatening a government shutdown just before the holidays. The ultimate deal that was passed barely differed from the initial legislation—only it slashed money for childhood cancer research and did not include a provision raising the debt ceiling that Trump hypocritically demanded. Politico reported on Monday: Not only is Trump unhappy with the funding deal, he’s unhappy with Johnson, too. He’s unhappy that he didn’t get the debt ceiling hike he made clear he wanted. He felt blindsided by the initial deal Johnson struck with Democrats. And, in the end, he was unimpressed with the entire chaotic process, which left the incoming administration questioning whether Johnson is capable of managing an even thinner majority next year.Now, discussion is picking up about whether to dispose of the Louisiana Republican and replace him with a new speaker when the new Congress is sworn in on Jan. 3, 2025.With a slim two-seat GOP majority, Johnson can afford to lose just one vote if he wants to remain speaker.But at least three Republicans have already said they are not committing to voting for Johnson for speaker, and one has said he will actively support someone else. “Since President Trump’s historic election to bring down spending, deficits, and inflation, the ‘Republican’-led House has INITIATED $300 billion in unpaid for new spending, without even ATTEMPTING offsets to prevent skyrocketing the deficit and debt. Future generations deserve better,” Rep. Andy Harris of Maryland wrote in a post on X on Monday. “I am now undecided on what House leadership should look like in the 119th Congress.”On Friday, just hours before the government was set to shut down, GOP Rep. Nicole Malliotakis of New York expressed frustration with Johnson over his “unacceptable” lack of communication."I don't know what's going on and really that's part of the problem,” Malliotakis told reporters on Capitol Hill. “The fact that there is zero communication from leadership to the membership, it’s very frustrating. Something should change before Jan. 3 here."xRep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY): "I don't know what's going on & really that's part of problem... Zero communication from leadership to the membership. Something should change before January 3.""How frustrated are you with Speaker Johnson?"@NMalliotakis - "How does it sound?" pic.twitter.com/zT8UN80mGQ— Howard Mortman (@HowardMortman) December 20, 2024Axios reported that fellow GOP Reps. Tim Burchett, Victoria Spartz, Andy Biggs, Troy Nehls, and Josh Brecheen are also undecided on who to vote for. And Rep. Thomas Massie is a firm no."I don't plan to enter it as a negotiation. I plan to just not vote for him,” the Republican from Kentucky told CNN, saying there is nothing Johnson can do to earn his vote.xSpeaker Johnson has work to do to win over a number of conservative Rs who won't commit to backing him on Jan 3 - especially since he needs nearly all Rs to vote to reelect him.Thomas Massie a hard no. "I don't plan to enter it as a negotiation. I plan to just not vote for him" pic.twitter.com/Szg5B1VKB8— Manu Raju (@mkraju) December 22, 2024Democrats, meanwhile, are not going to bail Johnson out." There will be no Democrats available to save him, or the extreme MAGA Republicans from themselves,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on MSNBC on Sunday, adding that Johnson’s job is at “risk.”xHakeem Jeffries on whether Democrats will save Mike Johnson from being ousted, " There will be no Democrats available to save him, or the extreme MAGA Republicans from themselves." pic.twitter.com/rxFbBXloBB— Sarah Reese Jones (@PoliticusSarah) December 22, 2024It's unclear who, if anyone, will challenge Johnson for the speaker role. Republicans have floated Musk as a possible speaker—which would be a lot for Musk to take on as he has never been a legislator and already has a big job as Trump’s co-president. But even if there is no one challenging him for the job, if just two Republicans hold firm against voting for Johnson, then there will be no winner and the House will have to keep voting until someone can amass a majority of votes. In 2023, it took 15 rounds of voting for Kevin McCarthy to win the gavel. And in October 2023, the House was in a state of paralysis for 22 days after now-former Rep. Matt Gaetz ousted McCarthy from the role without any plan of who to replace him with—a chaotic mess that ended with Johnson rising from relative obscurity to become speaker. If Republicans can't coalesce around someone on Jan. 3, when the new Congress is set to be sworn in, the House could devolve into chaos. The legislative body is powerless without a speaker, and if Republicans don't figure it out by Jan. 6, then the House can't call a joint session to certify Trump's 2024 win. Politico reported: Congress is legally required to convene on Jan. 6 to certify the election results. But without a speaker, the House won’t be able to establish rules governing how it operates. And members who would need to vote on any successful objection can’t be sworn in until after those rules are adopted.No one really knows if Republican chatter about Johnson’s future is just bellyaching or real grievance.But either way, the chaos within the GOP ranks is not a good sign for the party’s ability to govern next year. We're right in the thick of the holiday season, and we're all tired after a long election in which we gave 110%, but this is important: Daily Kos is falling short of our final goal of the year and time is running out. Can you chip in to help us close the books on 2024?

There's only one upside after Thursday night's spectacular failure for House Speaker Mike Johnson, President-elect Trump and Elon Musk: They now have a long list of Republicans who dared to defy them.Why it matters: Johnson is learning what a co-speakership with Trump — and to an extent, Musk — will look like.It's obvious Trump can kill a bill.It's less clear whether Trump or Musk can get legislation across the finish line by publicly browbeating GOP lawmakers.🗳 Johnson lost 38 Republican votes and gained just two Democratic ones on a Trump-endorsed plan to fund the government for three months and suspend the debt ceiling for two years.The final 174-235 tally is a disaster for leadership's Plan B.Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said Thursday they won't try their luck with the House Rules Committee on a party-line vote.Now comes Plan C — yet to be named — after Republicans wasted a day negotiating with themselves.The hard talks with House and Senate Democrats have yet to happen and the government shuts down in just over 24 hours.Zoom in: Trump is sparking a confrontation with his closest allies in Congress, with Johnson caught in the middle. Freedom Caucus members are both MAGA meat-eaters and big-time opponents of raising the debt ceiling.Now their president-elect is asking for a blank check and threatening primaries for any holdouts.He called for a primary challenge to Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas), who responded by calling the Trump-blessed bill "embarrassing" and "shameful." Roy voted no on the bill.Other GOP "no" votes were a Freedom Caucus who's who:It includes Andy Ogles and Tim Burchett of Tennessee; Ralph Norman of South Carolina; Bob Good of Virginia; Rich McCormick of Georgia; and Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar of Arizona.The bottom line: The rough reality for Johnson is that he needs Democratic votes to advance legislation — and Republican votes to remain speaker.On Thursday he realized how short he may be on both.
