House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is considering appointing two Republican congresswomen to the Intelligence Committee, Punchbowl News reported.

Rep. Claudia Tenney, R-N.Y., and Rep. Laurel Lee, R-Fla., are contenders for the three open seats on the coveted committee, Punchbowl said. Johnson is not expected to decide until after the New Year, according to the outlet.

Lee is a former federal prosecutor who was previously passed over for a spot on the committee. She told Punchbowl she'd be interested in serving on it.
