Speaker Johnson Denies Cutting Deal with Democrats to Save His Job

House Speaker responds to questions about Democrats announcing they will vote to table Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's motion to vacate the chair if it comes to the floor. Speaker Johnson says he didn't discuss the issue with Democratic Leader Jeffries or an emissary prior to a vote on the national security supplemental. Johnson says he's a life-long conservative Republican and is focused on his job. "The country needs a functioning Congress, " he says. "The world is on fire." close
