This German newspaper article (translated by Deepl) claims that Democrats will defend Johnson against attempts by the right of his party to unseat him as speaker. I don’t know the ins and outs of US politics, therefore I ask: What do you think?

    They probably will, provided Johnson makes some concessions regarding bringing bills up for vote.

    Johnson seems like far less a piece of shit McCarthy was and is willing to push through legislation that can pass the House with a slim Republican House majority.

    This seems better than another round of shutting down the House for weeks as Republicans try to find a Speaker that they can all agree on.
