RCP's Phil Wegmann reported on the doubts of House Republicans about Speaker Mike Johnson as we head into a new year Thursday afternoon with Mike Emanuel on FOX News: PHIL WEGMANN: What we have seen from the President-elect is more speculation about the annexation of Canada or Greenland than about the fate of Speaker Mike Johnson.

In just one week, the new Congress will be in session, and the first order of business for the House will be to elect a Speaker. Early signs point to a tough road for Mike Johnson retaining the position. Thanks to an even narrower GOP marjority than last Congress, just two defections from the GOP ranks means the end of his speakership.

Mike Johnson's wrangling to prevent a government shutdown angered Democrats to his left and Republicans to his right, putting his gavel in peril.
