Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said in a brief interview Tuesday that she’s pushing forward with a discharge petition to end run Speaker Mike Johnson and force a vote on a congressional stock trading ban.
The politically-explosive topic is still divisive within House Republicans, but broadly popular with the public. Luna said she’s done with waiting around for accountability on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), who is working on the effort with Luna, said they are “tired” of the GOP leaders pushing off the legislation.
It’s just the latest internal GOP fight facing Johnson. Almost simultaneously Tuesday afternoon, Johnson faced a GOP revolt on the House floor over a procedural move involving legislation to regulate name, image and likeness compensation in college sports.
