Dan Pfeiffer: “I follow politics for a living, and I had to Google Johnson to remember exactly who he was and where he was from.”
“Here’s who he is: Paul Ryan’s economic policies + Mike Pence’s views on abortion + Donald Trump’s dangerously wacky views on the 2020 election = Mike Johnson.”
“In other words, if Democrats could design in a lab the perfect candidate to run against, that person would look a lot like Mike Johnson.”
