Matt Lewis: This Republican Congress Will Do Everything Trump Tells Them To Do

‘It’s not Mike Johnson pulling it off, it’s Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

LEWIS: “Let me say, though, I am impressed with the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson. This is a guy who — I mean, this is like finding out the guy who volunteers to run the church potluck somehow rewrote the tax code. I mean, it’s stunning to me what the — what he has pulled off. But of course, it’s not Mike Johnson pulling it off, it’s Donald Trump. And to me, that’s what the big story here is. It’s this Republican Congress, with a couple of exceptions, like Thomas Massie, is going to do whatever Donald Trump tells them to do. And so, yes, I think that the Senate will find a way to, you know, put their stamp, as Josh Hawley said, on this bill, and there will be tweaks. But at the end of the day, this is a party completely beholden to Donald Trump. I don’t think he really cares that much about the details, about Medicaid, about spending. I think he likes getting things done and having a deal, and so this will happen."
