Chaos Ahead: Democrats Warn of GOP Infighting Following Election of Rep. Mike Johnson as House Speaker

Democratic strategist Chai Komanduri has warned of chaos in the House of Representatives following the election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) as its new speaker, which was allegedly kickstarted by extremist Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) at the behest of Donald Trump. Komanduri believes Johnson will do Trump's bidding, potentially leading to the shutdown of aid to Ukraine. The election of Johnson marks the end of a three-week standstill in the House of Representatives, with the consequences of his leadership yet to be seen.
