'He is Not a Lame Duck!'

‘He is Not a Lame Duck!’ Mike Johnson Claims Failure of Trump Pressure Campaign in Indiana Redistricting Is ‘Inconsequential’

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) emphasized Friday that the Republican failure to secure President Donald Trump’s redistricting plan in Indiana was not indicative of a loss of power leading up to the midterm elections.

CNN’s Manu Raju caught up with Johnson in the halls of Congress and asked, “Are you worried about Trump’s grip on power after Indiana? Do you think it shows he’s a lame duck?”

“Not at all!” Johnson snapped back. “No, he is not a lame duck!”

Johnson continued, “He’s the most powerful president of this generation and many others. We have a lot more work to do together. The outcome in Indiana is inconsequential to that.”

You're slipping Mikey. What you were supposed to say is 'He’s the most powerful president of this generation and any other generation in history.'
