House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on Jan. 10 that he is not concerned about the possibility of being stripped of the position of being second in line to the presidency over a spending deal he made with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.).

“I’m not concerned about that,” said Mr. Johnson during the House GOP press conference following the weekly conference meeting. This answer was in response to a question about a possible motion to vacate the speaker’s chair in response to the spending agreement.
