Mike Johnson Is in Way Over His Head

Molly Jong-Fast: “Once again, the federal government has started preparing for a government shutdown. And the blame should fall squarely on the shoulders of Mike Johnson, the election-denying Louisiana backbencher whom Donald Trump wanted to become Speaker of the House.”

“It seems that MAGA Mike is learning firsthand that being Speaker is a much harder job than it looks, with Johnson trying to lead a caucus seemingly more focused on impeachment stunts and further restricting abortion access than keeping the government open. Perhaps electing an inexperienced zealot to be second in line for the presidency wasn’t the brightest idea.”
