Trump Trashes Mike Johnson on Funding Bill

Punchbowl News: “It’s an inauspicious start to Trump’s relationship with Johnson who, theoretically, is his governing partner. Trump privately trashed Johnson to senators, saying the speaker ‘mishandled’ the situation, according to GOP sources…”

“As of right now, there’s no clear path forward on how Congress plans to avoid a shutdown in just two days…”

“A face plant of this nature could imperil Johnson’s political future. The anger – and the anger in the ranks is very real right now – could blow over. We get it. But the speaker election is Jan. 3. That’s just 16 days away.”
