Democrats Promise to Bail out Speaker Johnson if He Backs Immigration Plot
by SEAN MORAN 19 Jan 2024
House Democrats promised to bail out Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) if he were to do the “right thing” and help pass an immigration bill that would do little to combat the border crisis unfolding under President Joe Biden.
Johnson has said he opposes an immigration deal struck by Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) and Democrats.
Although he faces significant pressure from President Donald Trump and conservatives not to back the deal, Democrats are now offering to help him keep his speakership should he face a motion to vacate over his passing of the immigration bill.
