**House Speaker Mike Johnson Faces Divided Republican Party Amid Government Shutdown Avoidance**
The recent attempt to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson has sparked intense debate among Republican lawmakers, with some calling for his removal and others arguing that he has done a commendable job in preventing a government shutdown. Representative Mike Lawler of New York has weighed in on the matter, urging party members to consider the consequences of their actions.
**Background on the Recent Government Spending Bill**
Last week, a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including prominent Republicans like Rep. Matt Gaetz, collaborated with 208 Democrats to block a spending bill that aimed to avert a government shutdown.

Mike Lawler, a pragmatic congressman, openly expressed his support for Johnson’s leadership, noting that his predecessor Kevin McCarthy left behind a challenging situation.

According to Lawler, the turmoil in the House of Representatives is an outcome of missteps made by the previous leadership. He candidly stated that the chaotic transfer of power was the “stupidest thing I have ever seen in politics.” However, he also clarified that removing Johnson would be equally unproductive. Rather than contributing to a genuine change, Lawler believes that ousting Johnson would needlessly diminish the power of conservative forces in the House.
**A Leadership Worth Fighting For**

He expressed concern that if the group of progressive dissidents succeeded in their pursuit of taking down Johnson, they would inadvertently leave themselves a poorer condition.
