- Speaker Mike Johnson gave his reaction to Donald Trump’s promise to send Americans a $5,000 check if they protected Republican majorities in Congress during the upcoming midterm elections on Sunday.
- The speaker’s refusal to guarantee that such a measure could pass a Republican House and Senate was just one more sign that Trump’s latest Hail Mary was falling flat on Capitol Hill.
- Johnson was on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday to discuss the proposal, which Trump made at last week’s GOP midterm convention in Dallas, Texas.
