Mike Johnson: ‘Leaders have to take responsibility when things go wrong’
The Guardian reports that after Republicans' historic 2026 midterm losses cost them both chambers, House speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News in his first post-election interview that he will not seek re-election to House leadership, saying leaders must take responsibility when things go wrong. House Republicans chose Jim Jordan to replace him, while Democrats weigh leadership contests, with Chris Van Hollen challenging Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders backing the challenge.
