The Speaker has fought off challenges before, but a new push to remove John Boehner could finally do the trick.
It’s hard to imagine why anybody would want to be the Speaker of the House —which is perhaps the primary reason John Boehner has survived this long.
But now his tenure may be coming to an end. Rumors are swirling that Boehner’s speakership is in danger, and my sources corroborate this.
If Boehner makes even a minor misstep in the next few weeks, he will likely face a challenge—and sources indicate it would be a very close vote. In fact, right now I’d put the odds at about 50-50 that he goes down. That’s because the real goal of House conservatives right now isn’t to defund Planned Parenthood or shut down the government—their goal is to get rid of Boehner.
