Phxt Capitol Shock: Speaker Mike Johnson’s stunning admission may fuel a Democratic Blue Wave in the midterms — and even “cut the Trump administration’s term in half.”
Don’t threaten us with a good time MAGA Mike…
“I told him this morning what we’ve talked about many times and what I’ve said here before. The president is on the ballot in 2026. President Trump is on the ballot next fall,” Johnson said at a press conference today in the wake of Democrats’ stunning election victories yesterday.
“Because if we lose the majority of the Republicans, the common sense people here who are doing the job for the American people, if we lose the majority in the House and this radical element of the Democratic Party were able to take over, we’ve already seen that movie, they will try to end the Trump administration” he continued.
“He won’t have four years, he’ll have only two, because they will move to impeach him probably on the first day of the new Congress in January 2027, and they will try to systematically unwind all the important reforms that we’ve done for the American people to lower costs, to have a better quality of living, on healthcare, to increase access and quality of care,” Johnson absurdly stated. “We are the party that is doing that, and the president needs four years to complete his agenda, not just two.”
Let’s review what Republicans have actually done with this second Trump term. Prices have skyrocketed thanks to Trump’s pointless tariffs to the point where a simple trip to the grocery store has become a daunting financial challenge for many Americans.
Their “big, beautiful bill,” slashed $1 trillion from Medicaid and now rural hospitals are closing all across the country. Fossil fuel companies are running roughshod over our environment, polluting the Earth for generations to come. By every single observable metric, quality of life for everyone but billionaires has worsened under Trump. And Mike Johnson thinks that he can win elections on that record?
“So he is in a very real sense on the ballot,” Johnson continued. “He’s fiercely committed to us winning. He is going to help. He’s offered to do rallies and tell at town halls and all the things. He’s sent out a huge round of endorsements of incumbents, Republican incumbents, just over the last few days. He is very much engaged, very dialed in, and he understands the stakes. President Trump is on the ballot in 2026, and we’re looking forward to that contest.”
Given the fact that Trump’s approval rating is underwater and worsening by the day, Johnson might want to rethink those rallies and endorsements. The more that Republicans tie themselves to this White House, the worse they’ll perform at the ballot box.
Johnson’s concerns are understandable. If he loses the House he loses his Speakership and history will remember him as a spineless man who betrayed the American people while Trump looted the public coffers, carried out a campaign of terror with masked fascist enforcers, and destroyed our nation’s reputation on the world stage.
Once Democrats retake power we’ll have subpoena power to investigate the widespread corruption of this administration, release the full Jeffrey Epstein files, and hold every single one of these crooks accountable.
