Mike Johnson: “Republicans will defy the odds and make gains in Congress in the midterms.”

I know there will be a lot of eyeballs on the convention and what’s happening here.

Instead of just smothering this with red tape, which is always the government's reflex, and I think would be wrong and frankly dangerous to national security if we did it here, we want to continue the innovation.

The clips that we’ll be using from this for the next 55 days will be very valuable to us to draw the contrast between these two sides and to let people know what’s really at stake in this midterm.

The timing’s important because it’s close enough to the election to make a difference, but it’s also before early voting begins nationwide.
