Speaker Mike Johnson fights to save the House Republican majority — and his job

Speaker Mike Johnson marks one year on the job Friday .

He's fighting hard to preserve House Republicans ' razor-thin majority and his speakership.

Johnson 's chances will improve significantly if Republicans win control of the House again in November .

If Johnson is out of the picture, it could spark a fierce battle for minority leader between two of his key advisers.

Johnson and Jordan have personal friendships with both Scalise and Jordan .

Jordan has been one of the former president’s chief defenders on Capitol Hill for years , railing against the two Trump impeachments and leading a new special committee this Congress combating what Trump has called the “weaponization” of government against conservatives.

In his first year , Johnson demonstrated he could be a dealmaker but infuriated conservatives.

Johnson was thrust into the spotlight last year after a small band of far-right insurgents teamed with Democrats to end McCarthy ’s speakership.

Vulnerable Rep. David Valadao , R- Calif. , predicted Johnson will be able to remain as speaker if the GOP keeps the majority.

But if Trump throws a curve ball, saying he wants someone else as speaker would create all sorts of problems.
