Senate Republican leader John Thune plans to run for Senate minority leader after Democrats secured both chambers in the U.S. midterm elections, Fox News reported, according to BlockBeats.
Johnson promises a firewall
House Speaker Mike Johnson said that in the past 90 years, only two incumbent presidents increased or retained their party’s seats during the first two years of a term.
Johnson warned that turning the next two years into “retaliation, legal battles, and partisan maneuvering” would harm Americans. He said House Republicans would act as a “firewall” against that outcome.
