Summary

Bryan Lanza, a senior adviser to Donald Trump, predicted House Speaker Mike Johnson’s imminent downfall, citing a “strong probability” he won’t survive the first vote.

Lanza noted Trump’s limited success in influencing Republican lawmakers, referencing failed efforts with Jim Jordan.

Former Trump counsel May Mailman expressed more optimism, suggesting Johnson could barely secure enough votes.

The GOP’s ongoing infighting during what should be a “honeymoon” period highlights party divisions, with critics offering no clear alternatives to Johnson’s leadership.
