Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado commented on the current leadership situation in the House of Representatives on CNN’s “The Lead” on Tuesday. Boebert stated that, in her opinion, it doesn’t matter whether House Speaker Mike Johnson or Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries holds the top position. Host Jake Tapper raised the issue of House Democratic leaders coming to the defense of Mike Johnson, a conservative Republican from Louisiana, amidst potential challenges from members like Marjorie Taylor Greene. On Capitol Hill, there are mixed views on this matter, with many lawmakers expected to support Johnson. Boebert pointed out that despite the slim majority held by Republicans in the House, the Democrat agenda is being advanced with overwhelming support from the opposition. Meanwhile, Rep. Ralph Norman expressed concern over the challenges facing Johnson. In response to a question from Manu Raju about Democrats supporting Johnson as Speaker, Rep. Jamaal Bowman indicated his disagreement with the idea.
