Have you lost control of the conference? No, sir. We have full control of the conference. This is the same thing we've been doing.
MAGA Mike Johnson has indeed lost control of the House of Representatives, and he has lost control over his own party that just revolted against him. And MAGA Mike Johnson just shut down the House of Representatives until at least July 13th. So at least a two-week shutdown right now because the MAGA Republicans refused to pass a rule which would allow pieces of legislation and other matters before the House of Representatives to come to the floor. So MAGA Mike Johnson just decided, all right, we're going to shut down the House of Representatives once again. You had MAGA Republican Congress members like Luna, Miller, Harris, Burchett, Burleson, Roy, Fine, Crane, Spahr, itself, Turner. You had Thomas Massey, Boebert, and Scalise all vote against the rule.
And so now the House of Representatives is indeed shut down. Now, Manu Raju was asking MAGA Mike Johnson about Just having zero control over the House, heading into the midterms as the MAGA Republicans in generic ballots are trailing Democrats somewhere between 10 and 20 points. Watch a MAGA Mike Johnson says to Manu Raju, play this clip.
for us to stop our very important progress forward from House Republicans because some Senate Democrats are refusing to do their job. That's where we are. That's the reality of it. This is life with a small margin, small majority, and we'll work through it as we always do. We're going to do it again.
Have you lost control? Have you lost control of the conference?
No, sir. No, sir. We have full control of the conference. This is the same thing we've been doing the whole time. We have the smallest margin in U.S. history. We're nearing an election. People get very emotional about things, and sometimes they make irrational decisions. So I don't hold grudges against anybody. I just got to get all the team members back working in the same direction, same song, different verse, same job, different role.
Has the president been leaning on these guys, too? Has the president?
The president's not involved, no.
He's not involved, no. Does he need to get involved?
I suspect he's going to be very frustrated by this.
Are these members making it harder for you to keep the majority?
No. We're going to win the majority and I'll have a bigger margin and won't have these problems.
Then before MAGA Mike Johnson was running away there for Manu Raju earlier in the day, before he had to officially shut down the house, Manu Raju was asking MAGA Mike, so Donald Trump now wants you to pass legislation to ban birthright citizenship after the Supreme Court's ruling, which upheavals held birthright citizenship of the United States Constitution. So, Maga Mike, is that going to be your priority right now as Donald Trump refuses to sign the housing affordability bill, which was a bipartisan bill? Now you're going to be shutting down the House of Representatives. Your priority was to push a voter suppression bill, and now is it going to be to pass legislation to try to ban birthright citizenship, even though the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality under the 14th Amendment?
at birthright citizenship watch mega mike johnson play this clip the president posted that it's time for congress to move to end birthright citizenship and that a constitutional amendment is not necessary do you agree with him and will this do this be your top priority um
