Lauren Boebert floated by GOP colleague as someone who 'could do better' than Mike Johnson

Raw Story  

Speaker Mike Johnson's days may be numbered as the top lawmaker in the House, and at least one name is already being floated to take his place. Boebert, who is facing reelection and switching districts after Rep. Ken Buck retired, made a cameo on ousted Rep. George Santos’ weekly Twitter call-in show. She was asked point blank if she would consider taking over Johnson's job if he were to be muscled out, and she apparently is already ready to reject it while rejoicing about how they both “completely ruined life.” Boebert told Santos, "If I were speaker of the House, I would have to go to the GOP conference meetings," she said. Currently, pulling the same Gaetz motion to vacate card with Johnson, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is seeking to remove him from the post just as the House Speaker was mulling on how to bring a $95 billion security supplemental bills to bankroll foreign aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan.
