“Speaker Mike Johnson is in the middle of a 30-day campaign stretch stumping for vulnerable Republican members and top challengers who will decide the majority come November. But Johnson’s political fate is likely tied to theirs,” NOTUS reports.“The midterms will effectively decide if President Donald Trump’s lame-duck era starts in 2027 or if he has two more years of Republican control in Congress to move his agenda. If Democrats retake the gavel, the job description of the top Republican leader will change dramatically and the House GOP conference may look elsewhere for a figure to push back against a slew of investigations of the Trump administration.”
