Mike Johnson Promises GOP ‘I’ll Take Care of You’ If Democrats Win Midterms: ‘Half of You in This Room Will Be Targeted’

Johnson said Democrats would likely investigate Trump’s family and allies if they win the House, while recent polls show them leading Republicans by 3 to 6 points.

  • On Friday, House Speaker Mike Johnson warned at the Faith & Freedom Coalition 'Road to Majority' Conference that a Democratic House majority would transform committees into investigative bodies targeting President Donald Trump's family, cabinet, donors, and friends.
  • Republicans currently hold a 218-212 majority in the House, and Democrats need to pick up four seats to win control or three to tie in the upcoming November elections.
  • Former Republican Steve Schmidt argued the Speaker is panicking because he understands that accountability may finally be coming to Washington, while other critics suggested the prospect of investigations sounds enticing.
  • White House Spokeswoman Olivia Wales defended the President, asserting that Trump's 'America First' agenda is a 'winning formula for success' and remains committed to maintaining the Republican majority in Congress.
  • Recent polling from Echelon Insights shows 51 percent of likely voters would choose the Democratic candidate for Congress, versus 45 percent for the Republican candidate, with a 3.5 percent margin of error.
