"This entire White House team has treated ALL members like garbage. ALL. And Mike Johnson has let it happen because he wanted it to happen. That is the sentiment of nearly all appropriators, authorizers, hawks, doves, rank and file. The House Republican added: The arrogance of this White House team is off putting to members who are run roughshod and threatened. They don't even allow little wins like announcing small grants or even responding from agencies."
"Not even the high profile, the regular rank and file random members are more upset than ever. Members know they are going into the minority after the midterms. More explosive early resignations are coming. It's a tinder box. Morale has never been lower. Mike Johnson will be stripped of his gavel and they will lose the majority before this term is out."
House Republican Conference morale is very low and the caucus is described as a tinder box with expectations of additional early resignations. Members across appropriations, authorizing, hawkish and dovish wings say the White House team has treated all members poorly and that Speaker Mike Johnson allowed the treatment. The White House blocks agency responses and small grants that could provide wins for rank-and-file members. Several Republicans, including Marjorie Taylor Greene, have announced retirements and other GOP lawmakers are considering leaving midterm. Thirty-nine House members—sixteen Democrats and twenty-three Republicans—have announced they will not seek reelection, raising the risk of losing the majority.
