Axios: Johnson To Face “Agonizingly” Slim Majority

Axios reports:

House Democrats are gearing up to put maximum pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) agonizingly small House majority. Just a few complications on the GOP side could hobble Johnson’s efforts to pass President-elect Trump’s sweeping agenda, fund the government and raise the debt ceiling.
