Johnson struggles to explain Trump's threat: 'He and I are saying exactly the same thing'

House Speaker Mike Johnson struggled Tuesday to explain away former President Donald Trump's demand that he shut down the federal government should controversial legislation fail to pass. Johnson said he and Trump were equally committed to passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, or SAVE, Act hours after telling Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman he didn't want to shut down the government. Zanona pointed to Trump's Truth Social post Tuesday in which the former president and Republican presidential nominee threw full support behind a shutdown. House Democrats are likely to vote against the SAVE Act with Appropriations Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro calling it "reckless" and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries dubbing it "dead on arrival," Politico reported.
