Conservatives plot challenge against Johnson in internal speaker elections

Hardline conservatives are planning to challenge Mike Johnson for Speaker in internal House GOP elections, as reported by The Hill. Some conservative House members are working on a strategy to contest Johnson’s leadership, which may disrupt Republican stability post-2024 election.
Although Johnson is favored in the vote, the efforts indicate divided GOP support ahead of the House speaker vote in January. Sources say they are still deciding who an alternate candidate might be, with no favorites decided yet.
