Former Rep. Charlie Dent (R-PA) warned House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to keep House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’s (D-NY) number “on speed dial” because 2025 is only going to bring more chaos for House Republicans.

Dent joined MSNBC’s Chris Jansing on Friday to discuss Johnson’s current hold on the speakership following a continuing resolution to fund the federal government taking multiple tries to get passed at the 11th hour to avoid a government shutdown. The Republican majority in the House will be just one vote going forward and the current budget measure only funds the government through mid-March.

“Practically speaking, what’s a Speaker, whether it’s Johnson or someone else, to do?” Jansing asked Dent, who served in the House for over 10 years.

Dent argued that “hardliners” in the party would never vote for any continuing resolutions, leaving Johnson in a position where he would need Democrats to avoid utter chaos in his own party.
