After the Republican Party lost on election night, a wave of mutual accusations was set off within the Republican Party group in the US House of Representatives. A member of the House of Representatives questioned whether Speaker Mike Johnson and other senior deputies could hold positions in next week's leadership election. Over the past few months, Johnson has insisted that the Republican Party can buck the trend and maintain control of the House of Representatives. But after losing the majority of seats, he described this loss as an almost inevitable outcome; this rhetoric is difficult to satisfy Republicans who want to change leadership. A Republican member of the House of Representatives said that due to the results of this election, every member of the Republican leadership will face challengers. Another congressman said that losing the election created an excellent opportunity for Republicans who want to challenge the current leadership. A third member of parliament said that in his opinion, there is no possibility that Johnson will continue to be party leader. Trump affirmed Johnson in an interview on Tuesday, but did not clearly endorse him to continue as a leader. Referring to Johnson, Trump said, “This decision must be made by him.”
