House Speaker Mike Johnson has had to rely on Democrats in key votes to prevent government shutdowns.
Johnson, who was thrust into the role of House speaker after hard-right Republicans teamed up with Democrats to remove then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, has attempted to steer the chamber through the hijinks of the slim GOP majority. With Johnson relying on Democrats for multiple stopgaps to avoid a government shutdown, including the likely need for Democratic votes to avoid a shutdown this week, Democrats are feeling good about their chances to retake the chamber in November.
“When we’re winning, why would we worry about them flailing?” Rep. Mark Pocan told the outlet. “Now we’re able to get this across the finish line largely intact, with very little damage, given we’re not in charge. That’s like a double win, so I’m happy.” Democrats talking to the outlet also said while they are not enthusiastic over the processes it takes to pass spending bills in this Congress, they believe they are “contributing to” solutions.
