If they have a three-seat majority when everybody is present, they know that it's going to be really difficult for them to find agreement amongst each other on a number of policies that President-elect Donald Trump wants to get done.
The House Republican majority was already very narrow with five seats. There were days that there were actually more Democrats voting on the House floor than Republicans at certain points in time. There were, as we all recall, a number of Republicans who resigned early from Congress. So literally, Johnson had to manage for several months a one vote majority.
As much as Republicans may try and may ultimately be able to agree on something, it's going to be bruising. It's going to be painful.
A lot of them lived under the first Trump administration and remembered just how much Trump himself really did twist arms. A lot of Republicans are hoping that that pressure doesn't really get exerted on the most vulnerable Republicans, the ones who need to win reelection in swing districts so that Republicans can continue to keep the majority past the midterms in the next couple of cycles.
