That being said, though...

Johnson has a degree of confidence because no one expected him to get the job in the first place, and he did.

He defied expectations there.

He has been able to usher some really big bills through the House, including, as Trump calls it, the one big beautiful bill, or that's the big tax law that they passed that also included Medicaid cuts.

And then, primarily, the reason why he feels like he has some confidence here is because he still has Donald Trump's backing.

And Donald Trump was asked by a reporter

whether or not he still had confidence in Johnson, given all these recent sort of critiques and rebellions that we've been seeing spark up.

And Trump gave his full-throated support for Speaker Mike Johnson.

And so because of that, I do believe that Johnson feels like he's okay for now, but he knows better than anyone that every single vote counts.

And so getting that majority next year is going to be critical and not only just winning the majority, but making sure they have a bigger margin than what they have now.

Democrats voted for the ACA in 2010.

It went into effect in 2014.

That was the year that we saw our health insurance policy for a family of five go from $800 a month to $2,400 a month.

I think it is a crisis.

I don't think it's something to wear political party team jerseys on.

I think it's something that we have to address and fix.
