We got some wonderful news. Mike Johnson pulled a Iran war vote today because he knew that [ __ ] was going to pass. So, here's what happened. Mike Johnson had a vote scheduled today on the war power resolution, something that would have directed Trump to pull the US force out of Iran. He got on the floor, just straight up canceled it, and then walked off. He didn't even want to say a word to reporters. The cracks in that party, in the Republican party, is getting bigger. Senate already passed the anti-war measure this week. So, it seems like Donald Trump is being squeezed by his own people. You want to know why, though? Because these House Republicans have to run again in November. Trump doesn't. I remember somebody saying that this war in Iran almost cements the fact that we lose the midterm. I don't remember exactly which Republican said it. You remember Newt Gingrich, former Republican speaker? He said, "If the election were today, Republicans would lose." So, these people know what's coming.
Mike Johnson didn't cancel the vote to protect the country or anything. He canceled it so he could protect Trump from the embarrassment of losing. That's his whole job now.
