House Speaker Mike Johnson's grip on power is hanging by a thread as rumors swirl that retiring Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) may resign from Congress before his term ends, potentially throwing the GOP's already precarious majority into complete chaos.
The 72-year-old Dunn announced in mid-January he wouldn't seek reelection, but Capitol Hill insiders are now buzzing that he's considering an early exit that could leave Johnson scrambling to maintain control during the most critical phase of Trump's second-term agenda.
This is exactly what the Deep State establishment wants – a weakened Republican majority that can't deliver on President Trump's promises to secure the border, drain the swamp, and put America First. While Trump is fighting tooth and nail to implement mass deportations and dismantle the administrative state, RINO retirements are threatening to hand Democrats the keys to obstruct everything.
Johnson's Leadership Under Fire
Johnson's speakership has been on shaky ground since day one, and these retirement rumors prove just how fragile the Republican unity really is. With every GOP departure, the margin for error shrinks, giving more power to establishment Republicans who are already lukewarm on Trump's bold conservative agenda.
"This is what happens when you have career politicians who care more about their golf retirement than fighting for the American people," one senior GOP aide told sources close to the situation.
The timing couldn't be worse. As Trump pushes forward with his promise to complete the border wall, end woke military policies, and implement the largest deportation operation in American history, he needs every Republican vote in Congress. These retirements are playing right into the Democrats' hands as they prepare for the 2026 midterms.
Patriots across America didn't vote for a Republican majority just to watch it crumble due to politicians cutting and running when the going gets tough. The MAGA movement demands fighters who will stand with Trump, not establishment types looking for the nearest exit.
How many more Republicans will abandon ship before Johnson loses control entirely? And will GOP leadership finally wake up to the reality that America First conservatives are tired of watching their agenda get sabotaged from within?
