From the same WSJ article:

Some lawmakers say Johnson’s inexperience in leadership is compounding the party’s problems. Previous speakers had chaired major committees, like Paul Ryan, or served in top leadership positions for years, like Nancy Pelosi. Johnson’s background included serving as chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a conservative caucus, and in a lower-level party leadership post. <…>
One House Republican said Johnson’s elevation to speaker was akin to a Navy petty officer on a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier being suddenly promoted to the ship’s commanding officer. “That is what this Congress is now,” the lawmaker said.


One of the main qualifications that propelled Johnson to his post was his F grade on support for Ukraine: https://gopforukraine.com/legislator/mike-johnson/
