Massie comes out against Johnson retaining speaker's gavel: 'He does not have my vote'

"He does not have my vote," Massie told CNN's Manu Raju. Asked whether he would change his mind, Massie said that would require "a Christmas miracle."

"It's a new paradigm in Congress. Nancy Pelosi, and most republicans voted to keep Uniparty Speaker Mike Johnson," Massie tweeted at the time.

The measure also included disaster relief funding as well as aid related to farmers.

"Disaster aid and Farm aid is not 'Pork'. It's called governing. That's what we were all ELECTED to do," Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., declared in a post on X.

President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance also weighed in. In a statement, they called for passage of "a streamlined spending bill that doesn't give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want."

He shared the image after declaring in a tweet that "US foreign aid spending is like watering the neighbor's yard while your house is on fire."
