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?

    It would cause him to keep his job as Speaker in the short term, but lose his job as Representative in the next election (maybe 2026 if he’s already survived the 2024 primary).

    The sad state of the brainwashed and traitorous Republican base is that any attempt at actual statesmanship, no matter how feeble, is severely punished.

      Maybe, maybe not. This guy has had a long, fucked up career. This may or may not sink him come November (hopefully it will), and maybe he doesn’t care. Maybe he’s delusional enough to think he’ll survive.
