If I’m Mike Johnson, I’m feeling fairly nervous after watching that video clip. Trump could have appeared with Johnson per week in the past and stated that he was doing a great job, however the one factor that the previous president didn’t do was decide up the cellphone and inform Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to drop her deliberate movement to vacate towards Johnson.
On condition that Trump is weak minded and adjustments his tune primarily based on the final person who he talked to, Speaker Johnson shouldn’t be feeling snug at this second.
The Ukraine help invoice that Trump opposes will cross the Home someday on Saturday after which the drama and dialog will start about Mike Johnson’s future. Democrats are prepared to chip in sufficient votes to save lots of Johnson from the movement to vacate the chair, however the fee to Johnson will doubtless be that he turns into a lame duck speaker. Donald Trump may have saved Johnson at the moment with a robust endorsement, however he selected to not, and by saying nothing, Trump have sealed Johnson’s destiny.
