Johnson Says He’s Not Cutting Side Deals to Keep Job

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) told CNN on Friday that he is not making any side deals with GOP House members in order to win their votes to keep his job in the next Congress.

Said Johnson: “My simple message to my colleagues is, make suggestions about process improvements, we’re open to that at all times. But I don’t make deals with anyone. There’s no quid pro quo here. I don’t do anything in exchange for a vote.”
