Rep. Ken Buck Backs Speaker Johnson Amidst Spending Challenges

Buck believes Johnson will find support in reducing the national debt, unlike his predecessor.

Republican Rep. Ken Buck believes House Speaker Mike Johnson will not face a rebellion from within his party, unlike his predecessor former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
Johnson is currently dealing with challenges that were created during McCarthy's leadership, according to Buck.
Buck predicts Johnson will find support when he finds ways to reduce the national spending and the $36 trillion debt expected at the end of next year.
The two-step resolution that avoided a government shutdown, signed by President Joe Biden earlier in November, was heavily criticized by House Republicans for its lack of spending cuts.
The U.S. national debt is currently at about $33.77 trillion, according to the U.S. Treasury.
