On November 4, House Speaker Boris Johnson announced his decision not to continue leading the House Republicans next year, sparking a new leadership battle within the Republican Party. The race to succeed Johnson is likely to be between Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, and Tom Emmer.
Over the past two election cycles, Johnson traveled to 36 states to campaign for Republican candidates and raised more than $526 million for them and their supported super PACs. Voters, fueled by high living costs and discontent over the war with Iran, turned their frustrations toward Trump.
