Johnson hits unsteady point of his speakership at the worst time

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : ""So, as the team is getting used to working together, I'd be curious what the collaboration was like with President Trump," Davidson said.
37% : "Some Republicans viewed the chaotic week as a test run for Johnson's ability to manage his conference and coordinate with Trump next year, when the party will be under intense pressure to deliver ambitious priorities, given they control the federal government trifecta.
22% : "I think it'll be fine unless Trump comes out against him," said Rep. Warren Davidson (R-Ohio).
21% : Some Trump allies are signaling that the incoming president won't waste political capital to save Johnson if he does face a challenger or starts to flounder internally -- and Trump himself made an open threat this week about his political future.
14% : Though Trump publicly broke with Johnson on his first spending plan, he has also privately warned lawmakers in recent weeks not to do anything that delays his agenda.
3% : Trump can't guarantee Johnson will get speaker -- the president-elect already endorsed him in mid-November, and conservatives are still threatening to oppose him -- but if Trump pulls that endorsement, Johnson could be in major trouble.
