Former Georgia Congressman says House GOP needs to start acting like the majority that they are

Former Georgia GOP Congressman Doug Collins says that the Republicans in the House need to start acting like they hold the majority. 

"We've got to have a majority that acts like a majority, and right now they're not," Collins said on the Tuesday edition of the "Just the News, No Noise" TV show. "They're acting more like a minority."

The House GOP has been split over the past few months over budget negotiations, Ukraine funding, and internal fighting, which led to the ousting of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.

While the GOP came together and voted for current House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., he still faces criticism from Republicans such as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

"What I don't see is a concerted effort to say, 'here's what we're going to fight for,'" Collins said. "They'll simply sometimes throw a number up there. They'll say, 'get rid of this.' When you're at a two thirds to one third disadvantage in these negotiations... that's just exceedingly difficult to follow up on."

He said while there are some Republican House members with good ideas, they won't go anywhere until action is taken. 

"I'm gonna just be very blunt: unless the Republicans in the House realize they are the majority, not the minority, and they put together 217 or 218 votes, then frankly, they're just talking to themselves."
