Newt Gingrich offers advice for how Mike Johnson can stay speaker.
As Speaker of the House Mike Johnson fends off another conservative rebellion over his, he’s garnering support from former speaker — and infamous conservative pugilist — Newt Gingrich.
So first of all, he doesn’t have a real majority. He has a technical majority for the purpose of organizing committees and theoretically controlling the flow of legislation, but he doesn’t have a working majority on the Rules Committee. He doesn’t have an ability to deliver 218 votes for virtually anything. He has 30 or 40 members who ideologically wake up every morning knowing that they’re gonna vote no — they’re not sure what the issue is, but they know they’re going to vote no.
So it’s fair to say you think it would be a mistake if members moved forward with the motion to vacate? You don’t give any credence to the conservatives’ arguments that the U.S. has already given too much to Ukraine? Want to read more stories like this?

So I’m wondering if you would give him the same advice.
