Concerns are growing among Senate Republicans that Mike Johnson “has lost control of his conference,” potentially making his leadership a major “liability” in the upcoming midterm elections, The Hill reported Monday.

“It’s not like these things are hard,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), according to The Hill. “That’s the thing. I feel like the Senate has teed up things fairly easily for them, even to the point where if they don’t like it, they can blame us. And they still haven’t taken the opportunity to actually govern, and I do think it’s hurting the brand. The House is rowdy.”

Johnson faced a convergence of challenges last week during an “absolutely brutal week,” one that sparked waves of infighting over GOP priorities that Johnson has struggled to quash.

Hurting the brand Cramer................... .............your a traitor Cramer to the Constitution........... maybe you should look in the mirror and self reflect on your support for a 34 count convicted fraudster and a person that was adjudicated to have sexually assaulted a woman in a department store dressing room.........
