Absences Make It Hard to Pass Trump’s Agenda

Washington Post: “Even when everyone is in Washington, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) faces challenges holding his razor-thin majority together in the House. But a spate of absences in recent weeks — some by choice and others by fate — has made it even more difficult to pass legislation, including President Donald Trump’s agenda.”

Said Johnson: “It’s dicey some days. I told everybody … ‘no risk-taking, take vitamins and stay healthy and be here.’”
