Democrats Won’t Save Mike Johnson Again

“House Democrats are sending an early warning signal to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) that he shouldn’t count on them to rescue him again,” Axios reports.

“Johnson will have the barest of majorities next year — and he’s staring down growing unrest within the Republican conference.”

Said one swing state Democrat: “I have thought multiple times that I would help Johnson in a tough Speaker vote because he was true to his word even in hard times. That has absolutely changed now. Trust is all we have in these negotiations. I thought Johnson was truly different. He’s no better than McCarthy. He’s getting no help from me and I know many of my colleagues feel the same.”
