Stefanik's Committee Return Creates GOP Chaos
Tap title to read story
House Speaker Mike Johnson faces a challenge in fulfilling a promise to reinstate Rep. Elise Stefanik to the House Intelligence Committee. House rules limit committee size, requiring either replacing an existing member or altering the rules. This situation arose after President Trump withdrew Stefanik's UN ambassador nomination, with assurances of her return to leadership and the committee. The delay and potential for removing a current member has caused tension within the GOP, particularly as Stefanik leveraged her return for a key budget vote. Johnson is exploring options, including potentially adding a Democrat to the committee to accommodate Stefanik.
