On Monday night, a spokesman for the Louisiana Republican informed Fox News that Johnson advised his Democratic colleagues to “get a grip.”
“In this country, the American people decide the next president — not the courts and not the Congress,” The spokesperson for the speaker continued.
It is essentially impossible to pass this into law, especially now that Republicans hold a majority in the House.
Raskin acknowledged as much to Axios, adding, “I don’t have a lot of hope that Speaker Johnson will allow us to bring enforcement legislation to the floor, but we have to try and do it.”
A New York Times/Siena College survey that was released on Saturday indicates that 65% of Americans think the nation is going in the wrong way.
Democrats would be forced to face and accept accountability for their own failing policies, a situation they would like to avoid if they stop talking about January 6.
It’s easier to keep trying to turn every corner.
