Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) plans to vote against Johnson's reelection as speaker, signaling division among Republicans, especially with such a narrow majority of 219-215.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) remarked on MSNBC that Johnson's recent actions have worsened relations, stating that he cannot count on Democratic votes as he did previously.
Democrats, feeling betrayed by Johnson's changes to the funding deal, have indicated they will not support him in the upcoming speaker's vote on Jan. 3.
Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.) explicitly supports Hakeem Jeffries for speaker, emphasizing that many Democrats no longer feel they can back Johnson in this crucial vote.
