Read our privacy policy Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade was left with a bit of egg on his face on Friday when he sounded the alarm that House Speaker Mike Johnson had lost yet another Republican vote from the GOP’s razor-thin majority, further placing Johnson’s bid to retain the gavel in doubt. “Congressman Bob Good just tweeted out he will not be voting for Mike Johnson.” Indeed, shortly before Kilmeade’s interview with Jordan, Good sarcastically posted on X that he would “NOT be voting for Mike Johnson for Speaker” during Friday’s House vote. Fox News host Brian Kilmeade believes that House Speaker Mike Johnson has lost another Republican vote — only to be reminded by Jim Jordan that former Rep. Bob Good is no longer in Congress. “I am not voting for Mike Johnson tomorrow, and you can take that to the bank.” While a number of conservative hardliners have expressed reservations about supporting Johnson over debt and spending, many of whom also initially blocked Kevin McCarthy’s path to the speakership in 2023, they have largely been evasive about where they’ll land during Friday’s vote.
