The Louisiana Republican announced on Wednesday morning on an all-staff call that he will not run for House minority leader for the new Congress next year, following Tuesday’s historical Democratic landslide takeover of the House of Representatives.
It’s not clear yet if Johnson has anointed a successor to lead the Republican caucus. Representative Jim Jordan, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has already thrown his hat into the ring and announced he’s running for House minority leader. According to Punchbowl News, Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations.
The current number two Republican in the House, Representative Steve Scalise, also announced that he is running for caucus leader.
I’m every single photo I’ve ever seen of him, he just looks confused to hell. Like he’s having super early dementia.
I mean I know he’s just plain evil, but he looks confused as hell, and Patel always looks awkward as fuck.
It’s all the drugs. Poppers probably. They are popular in the gay community.
Jeffries and Schumer should have both stepped down after the embarrassing 2024 losses.
They’re eating their young. I’m sending (yet another) e-mail to our RethugliKKKan Senator, asking if she regrets not removing it from office as I demanded so many times in the past. Her reply will be priceless.
Good riddance racist loser.
Welcome to the club of the ex-future leaders of the Republican party.
Private equity, investment banking, and runs a SuperPac. They landed pretty well.
Was that an actual book?
That’s hilarious. I’ll keep an eye out for it on the resell books.
I don’t know… pretty sure, behind closed doors, lil man LOVES him some humiliation!
You know you’re actually right about that? No joke. That’s actually how they are.
I was struggling yesterday to remember whst this guys name is. He just carries trumps diaper bag now and rubber stamps his crimes. He didnt quit leadership, he got sidelined. Like all trumps allies, its only a matter of time until trump backstabs or scapegoats them.
Whomever leads Republicans in the House will be a sleazy little shit who lives to suck Trump’s stinking little toadstool.
Damn I’m just eating my lunch
well that narrowed it down…
Brave Sir Johnson ran away…
Bye bye Mike
Next ghoul up.
Damn. People voted so hard they bullied this loser into quitting lol. Don’t stop now! Demand Democrats actually improve people’s lives.
In order to do that we need to replace the house and senate leadership.

Agreed. That’s part of the demand…
Jordan’s pitch will be that new blood is needed and that he specializes in investigations
Yeah, of his own belly button.
Around here, we refer to him by his full Christian name, Gymnasium B. Jordan.
Handjob Jim “investigated” the boners of young wrestlers.
He’ll fit in well with trump. Trumps speeches about male asses are really unnerving. How would you like to be in that crowd listening to him drool.
Mr Spineless slithers off like the spineless blob he is hoping no one notices
He’s going to have a lot of time on his hands now and will depend on his son to heavily monitor his porn intake.
He’s still going to be in the house. He didn’t lose his election.
Gotta get your résumé ready and sent to Fox News huh Mikey?…
