Mike Johnson: “The president has said publicly the same thing he says to me…”

“What did when you laid that out for the president, your concerns about what the future could look like, should the Democrats be operating without the filibuster, what was his response?

Let's pray that never happens. But if the Democrats were in charge of the White House, the Senate and the House, he thinks that they might, well, pull the trigger and do that.” (07:46–07:54)
