Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, suggested that House Speaker Mike Johnson did step down as leader next year and suggested Elon Musk or Vivek Ramaswamy did take over. Lee said in a Thursday evening interview on” Jesse Watters Primetime” that he didn’t believe the speaker would continue to hold office. If he was correct, the next speaker should be a” Expand speaker,” in reference to the Department of Governmental Effectiveness. Musk and Ramaswamy were chosen by President-elect Donald Trump to guide the campaign for lower government spending. ” Vivek, Elon if you’re watching, please sign up, America needs you”, Lee said. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., had suggested putting Musk in the House as speech in a Thursday night article on X. Everything would obstruct the lake more than Elon Musk’s election, so think about it. .. nothing’s difficult. ( not to mention the satisfaction at seeing the social establishment, aka ‘ uniparty,’ lose their ever-lovin ‘ minds )”, Paul posted Thursday night. Republicans railed against a 1, 547-page government spending determine advocated by House Speaker Mike Johnson this year as a possibility of a possible partial government shutdown loomed. President-elect Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance also weighed in, declaring in a speech,” Republicans want to help our producers, pay for disaster relief, and set our nation up for success in 2025. The only way to accomplish that is to pass a temporary cash act that doesn’t require any demonetization and increases the debt roof. Trump lashed out at Rep. Chip Roy, R-TX, saying that he was “getting in the way of having still another Great Republican Victory- All for the sake of some inexpensive publicity for himself.” In a Truth Social post, Trump claimed that “weak and ineffectual people like Chip should be dismissed as being completely ignorant of the ways of politicians and of Making America Great Again. LOOMSLee spoke very of Roy after Trump outrighted the Lone Star State senator. TRUMP-BACKED Saving BILL GOES DOWN IN FLAMES AS SHUTDOWN LOOMSLee. ” There is not a more honest advocate of liberal plan, lawfully minimal government, or MAGA principles than @ChipRoyTX”, Lee declared in a blog on X. ” President Trump will not have a more ethical, enthusiastic ally than @ChipRoyTX”, he added. Roy criticized the fresh version of the spending request and the Republicans supporting it in a fiery speech before the vote on Thursday, saying,” If there is someone who is more devoted than I am now, I have never met that man.” ” Yes, I think this bill is better than it was yesterday in some ways,” Roy said, adding that congratulations on your part are asinine because it’s shorter in pages but increases the debt by$ 5 trillion.” A party campaigns on fiscal responsibility and has the temerity” to make the suggestion that the proposal is “fiscally responsible. It is totally ridiculous”, he asserted. Sen. Paul, R-Ky., reposted a picture of Roy’s talk, and commented,” We are either financially liberal or not. An endless increase in the debt ceiling for 2 years is no financially conservative and should be rejected “.MASSIE COMES OUT AGAINST JOHNSON RETAINING SPEAKER’S GAVEL: ‘ HE DOES NOT HAVE MYVOTE’CLICK TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPIn a blog on X, Roy noted,” Now, I’m against raising the debt ceiling without significant paying cuts/reform”.Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., who like Roy, voted against passing the spending proposal on Thursday, suggested that instead of voting on a catchall measure, there should be multiple measures that receive individual votes. ” This isn’t complicated. Separate the bills and vote on them individually. One vote on the clean CR, one vote on the debt cap, one vote on disaster relief, one vote on farm bailouts Radical right? Individual bills for each issue”, he posted. Lee backed him. ” Separate the bills”, he wrote. ” Vote on them individually”, he added. ” Revolutionary”!
