"That's more problematic than ever for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) after Rep. Kevin Kiley (Calif.) announced this week that he's leaving the GOP to become an independent."
"The race also is being closely watched because Republicans are operating with a razor-thin majority."
Republicans maintain a precarious hold on the House with an extremely narrow majority, a situation that has become more challenging following Rep. Kevin Kiley's decision to leave the GOP and become an independent. This development particularly impacts Speaker Mike Johnson's ability to govern effectively. The political landscape has shifted significantly, with notable figures experiencing dramatic changes in their positions and relationships within the party, including high-profile departures and conflicts with party leadership.
