Democrats Stand Ready to Save Mike Johnson’s Job

“Democrats are increasingly open to the idea of voting to protect Speaker Mike Johnson against an ouster attempt, putting him in a stronger than expected position even with a razor-thin majority,” Politico reports.

“More than two dozen Democrats told Politico they expect a swath of the party to step in and save the Republican speaker following his decision to buck conservative members of his party and support military aid to Ukraine.”

Said Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD): “I don’t think we should penalize a speaker for doing the right thing.”
