Ric Grenell, President Donald Trump’s acting director of national intelligence, on Sunday questioned if Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID) solved the issue over the delisting of wolves, which was one of the reasons why he opposed Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) bid for Speaker.
Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID), the establishment career politician who represents the eastern part of the state, has already lost the support of the Republican Party of Idaho and now there are growing calls for a credible challenger to step up and run against him.
Newly minted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is granting clemency and amnesty to the 25 intransigent House Republicans who violated the formal will of the House GOP conference when they took to the House floor to block a Speakership bid from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) earlier this year.
Rep. Mike Simpson (R-ID), one of the 25 House Republicans who opposed Rep. Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) Speakership bid, said his opposition came from local issues such as “delisting wolves” and the Idaho National Laboratory.
House Budget Committee chairman Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) is currently silent on whether or not the intransigent House Appropriations Committee chairwoman Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) should be allowed to continue as a committee chair on a prized House panel despite continually voting against the wishes of the House GOP conference.
