Mike Johnson Stumping for California Republicans

“Speaker Mike Johnson plans to visit California on Wednesday to stump and fundraise for Republican candidates in a state that could determine control of the U.S. House of Representatives during President Trump’s final two years in office,” the Los Angeles Times reports.

“David Wasserman, a congressional forecaster for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, said that Johnson is attempting to mitigate the aftermath of Proposition 50, the redrawing of California’s congressional districts that voters approved in November in response to Trump’s efforts to tilt districts in his favor elsewhere in the nation, notably Texas.”

Said Wasserman: “If it weren’t for Republican efforts to redraw Texas, Proposition 50 wouldn’t have seen the light of day.”
