This German newspaper article (translated by Deepl) claims that Democrats will defend Johnson against attempts by the right of his party to unseat him as speaker. I don’t know the ins and outs of US politics, therefore I ask: What do you think?

    I think there is also a benefit in having Republicans forced to govern in some form until the election.

    First, Republicans have to actually negotiate on bills rather than take every position as it benefits them.

    Second, getting Republicans to flip now makes Democrats wholely responsible for getting House majorities to pass bills. I don’t see Democrats able to pass bills in that environment, so it is better for them to keep this problem Republican.

      It’s the kind of situation where what looks logical from one POV looks insane from another. The way MTG judges the fight and the way Jeffries sees it are lightyears apart.
