Multiple outlets report that House conservatives expect a challenge to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) during Wednesday’s internal House GOP elections. Although Johnson is favored to retain the gavel, conservatives reportedly plan to nominate an alternative candidate. #BREAKING: Conservatives plot challenge against Mike Johnson in internal Speaker elections https://t.co/pga4Ry0nV2 — The Hill (@thehill) November 12, 2024 From The Hill: The sources said they are still discussing whom to nominate, and one source cautioned that the opposition could fall apart. “There will be a nomination,” one of the sources said. The intent is to show opposition within the House GOP to Johnson’s bid to continue as Speaker, one of the sources said. The House GOP is set to consider Johnson for Speaker during internal GOP elections on Wednesday. Johnson has been bullish on his chances of retaining the gavel, especially with President-elect Trump — who has spoken highly of him in the past — on his way to the White House. #BREAKING: Conservatives in the US House are plotting to CHALLENGE Mike Johnson for the Speakership tomorrow LET’S GO! An alternative candidate will be nominated in the internal GOP elections in an attempt to strip Mike of the gavel Mike Johnson has been a TOTAL FAILURE, so… pic.twitter.com/snBffJWMBs — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) November 12, 2024 It's official: conservative Republicans in the US House plan to CHALLENGE Mike Johnson for speaker tomorrow. Who should they put up? pic.twitter.com/Zv4kUVtoRI — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 12, 2024 Per Axios: Johnson survived a leadership challenge in May after passing an aid package for Ukraine on suspension. Democrats ultimately helped block the motion to vacate against Johnson’s leadership. Johnson have a tiny majority at best in January. If the current projections hold, the GOP will start the year with a two-vote margin until special elections are held to replace Reps. Elise Stefanik and Mike Waltz, both bound for administration positions. “It wasn’t Republicans that saved Mike Johnson, it was Democrats,” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said earlier this year. “Mike Johnson is owned by the Democrats and refuses to protect President Trump even though he runs down to Mar-a-Lago every chance he gets and hugs him as tightly as possible,” she added.

Kevin McCarthy. Johnson, R-La., has come under heavy criticism from some Republicans for moving forward with aid for Ukraine as part of a $95 billion emergency spending package that passed this month. It would take only a handful of Republicans to remove Johnson from the speakership if the Democratic caucus went along with the effort. But Democratic leaders took that possibility off the table. “At this moment, upon completion of our national security work, the time has come to turn the page on this chapter of Pro-Putin Republican obstruction,” said a statement from the top three House Democrats, Reps. Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark and Pete Aguilar. “We will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Motion to Vacate the Chair. If she invokes the motion, it will not succeed.”

Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, has emerged as the front-runner for Trump’s White House  Press Secretary. An inside source reported, “Habba’s expected to be at Mar-a-Lago this week for conversations regarding a potential role.” A member of the Trump campaign added, “Donald Trump is the premier programmer and producer-in-chief, he casts for the on-air roles.” “Alina is camera-ready and tested on day one. But more importantly she’s battle tested after being in the frontlines with POTUS the last four years,” added the campaign source. I hear Alina Habba is being considered for White House Press Secretary. STOP all considerations and give it to her immediately. Seeing her cook the media for four years will be magnificent. pic.twitter.com/Fy0e0VwPdi — George (@BehizyTweets) November 12, 2024 #BREAKING: Trump lawyer Alina Habba has emerged as a front runner for White House Press Secretary, per Mediaite NICE! pic.twitter.com/fPyrECnvN7 — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) November 12, 2024 Check out what Mediaite reported: Alina Habba, a lawyer who represented Donald Trump in a series of high-profile cases, has emerged as a front-runner to serve as press secretary in the incoming White House, four sources told Mediaite. There has been no formal decision as of yet, but Habba is the favorite for the role, insiders said. One source, granted anonymity to speak about internal deliberations, said there are ongoing discussions with Habba about the job but it remains unclear whether she will take it. “She’s expected to be at Mar-a-Lago this week for conversations regarding a potential role,” the source said. A source from the Trump camp said Habba’s experience defending the former president on-camera and in court are seen as advantages that will serve her well in the briefing room. “Donald Trump is the premier programmer and producer-in-chief, he casts for the on-air roles,” the source said. “Alina is camera-ready and tested on day one.

Kamala Harris made her first public appearance since her concession speech last week. Harris visited the Arlington National Cemetery, where she was accompanied by her husband, Doug Emhoff, and Jill and Joe Biden. However, videos of the event showed Jill and Kamala appearing to completely ignore each other, causing some users on social media to speculate that the two are at war. Steve Cortes took to X and wrote, “It’s safe to say that Jill Biden hates Kamala Harris’s guts.” Take a look: It’s safe to say that Jill Biden hates Kamala Harris’s guts. pic.twitter.com/K6Te9Onf50 — Steve Cortes (@CortesSteve) November 12, 2024 Watch Jill Biden evidently give Kamala the cold shoulder as she arrives at Arlington National Cemetery Kamala shook everyone’s hand before swiftly racing past Jill as the cameras were rolling They’re not taking the loss well. pic.twitter.com/TlJbaSy3uz — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) November 12, 2024 Here’s what the Times of India reported: Kamala Harris made her first public appearance after her concession speech yesterday at a Veterans Day event at the Arlington National Cemetery. It was a joint appearance of the outgoing president and vice-president as both Biden and Kamala Harris were there. Joe Biden and Jill Biden were not present at Howard University where Kamala Harris gave her concession speech — making it clear how they distanced themselves from the election loss. Now videos of Kamala Harris and Jill Biden are going viral with two claims — Kamala Harris ignored Jill Biden; Jill completely ignored Kamala Harris. Who ignored who remains open to interpretation as they were seen sitting beside each other and not even exchanging a glance in the viral videos. Jill Biden was wearing sunglasses and looked straight and Kamala Harris too was seen looking in the other direction where their glances could not meet. Jill Biden however spoke with Kamala Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff as seen later. It is not a secret that both Joe Biden and Jill held a grudge when the outgoing president was made to drop out of the presidential election. It was a decision dominated by the party veterans and Biden had no other option than to abide by endorsing Kamala Harris. Jill Biden too campaigned for Kamala Harris but the Bidens did not let go of the grudge. Jill Biden refused to even look at Kamala pic.twitter.com/bjoGRfJvrX — End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) November 12, 2024 Per Nicki Swift: During a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on November 11, Joe Biden gave one of his final speeches as president. It was a moving moment, however, it was overcast by the irate iciness between First Lady Jill Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. In a video posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, the first lady steeled her jaw, kept her sunglasses on, and stared straight ahead during the remarks given by President Biden — seeming to ignore Harris, who was sitting right next to her. This led to rumors spilling over onto social media that Jill has held a grudge against Harris for a while now. The rupture between Jill Biden and Kamala Harris reportedly began back in 2019, when Harris was running for president, campaigning against Joe Biden. In an early debate, Harris pushed back against Joe over his previous track record of supporting segregationist policies. This seems to have ruffled the feathers of Jill, who is ferociously loyal to her husband and family. When it was decided that Joe would drop out of the 2024 presidential race, sources told the Daily Mail that Jill was upset about the push for him to step aside. But after Joe pivoted to support Harris in her presidential bid, Jill begrudgingly followed suit. The first lady attended some efforts to encourage people to vote for Harris and was behind several voter registration and early voting campaigns. However, it’s possible that Jill’s support for Harris really boiled down to the fact that Harris’ campaign was seen as an extension of the Biden presidential legacy. Now that Harris has lost the election, it seems all love has been lost between her and Jill. Especially with the message Jill sent with her Election Day outfit. Jill wore all red to vote. As the wife of a democrat politician there’s no way she doesn’t know how this looks. Biden and Jill are pissed. pic.twitter.com/aHb5k4VZUe — Coco (@CoClarified) November 5, 2024
