"Everybody's got different issues," Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) said of his fellow undecideds - including opinions on what Johnson "should be doing to rally support for various issues." Some, he said, wish the notoriously congenial speaker was "more forceful like Nancy Pelosi."
Rep. Eli Crane (R-Ariz.), another undecided, told Axios on Friday that "it's possible" Johnson will have trouble securing the support he needs. "I've heard of many frustrations of people outside the Freedom Caucus" as well as inside, Crane added.
Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris (R-Md.), who told Axios on Wednesday he was supporting Johnson, declared after the vote Friday he was "now undecided." Between the lines: Johnson, like Kevin McCarthy before him, has faced frequent uprisings from his most right-wing members.
