Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) stated he thinks congressional Democrats are “doubling and tripling” down on the insurance policies that resulted in a “big victory” for Republicans in November’s election.
Johnson joined Fox Information for “Sunday Night in America with Trey Gowdy” and was requested if he thinks Democrats perceive why they misplaced battles for the White Home and congressional majorities in 2024. The Speaker stated he doesn’t assume so.
“They seem to be doubling and tripling down on the failed policies that gave us the big victory last November,” he stated.
Johnson argued Democrats have “no leader” and “no vision” to run on.
“The Democratic Party is flailing. But meanwhile, the Republican Party is sticking together and getting our agenda done,” he stated.
The current authorities funding battle put a highlight on the divides inside the Democratic Celebration.
Senate Minority Chief Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) got here beneath sharp criticism from his fellow Democrats after he voted to advance a GOP-drafted measure to maintain the federal government funded as a substitute of backing a filibuster. The political fallout has left the social gathering in turmoil, as many Democrats backed blocking the GOP measure, which might have led to a authorities shutdown.
Johnson famous there’s little time for Republicans to realize what they need, because the prep for the 2026 midterm elections begins.
“We’re going to let the Democrats do what the Democrats do, but we’re going to get the job done,” he stated. “And I think people will see that contrast. It’s on stark display right now, that’s for certain.”
