Is Mike Johnson Planning His Own January 6th? ⚠️

Is Speaker Mike Johnson planning his own January 6th? Before diving into the explosive battle over the 2026 midterms, The Atlantic’s David Frum joins Jim Acosta to break down how a brewing foreign policy crisis with Iran and skyrocketing gas prices are rapidly draining the administration's political leverage.Frum warns that if economic fallout leaves the 2026 midterm elections razor-thin, Speaker Mike Johnson—not Donald Trump—holds the ultimate constitutional power to decide which House members get seated. Pointing to a shocking 1984 House fight precedent, Frum poses the ultimate question: Does Johnson want his own January 6th crisis, or would he rather take a quiet exit to a lucrative K Street lobbying career?
