On May 8, 2024, Representative Scott Franklin (FL-18) voiced his opposition to the motion to vacate Speaker Mike Johnson. The representative from Florida stated that such a move would be a "major tactical error" and could potentially harm the advancement of conservative priorities.
"I supported the motion to table to dispense with this foolish partisan infighting and get back to the work our constituents sent us here to accomplish," said Franklin. He added that both President Trump and nearly every House Republican agreed that it would be a mistake to remove Speaker Johnson from his position.
Franklin's statement underscores his commitment to focus on legislative work rather than engaging in internal party disputes. His stance reflects a broader consensus among Republicans who believe that unity is essential for achieving their policy goals.
