Opinion Mike Johnson needs a cognitive test
By Dana Milbank
On Tuesday night, after House Republicans lost a closely watched special congressional election in New York, longtime Republican pollster Frank Luntz warned them that the result was “a rejection of House Republican chaos” and a House majority that “gave voters nothing to vote for.”
“Tonight is the final wakeup call for the @HouseGOP,” he posted on X. “If they ignore or attempt to explain away why they lost, they will lose in November as well.”
On Wednesday morning, House Republicans attempted to explain away the loss.
Walking out of the Republican caucus meeting in the Capitol basement, Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio), explained that part of the district was in the “liberal cesspool” of New York City — while at the same time argued that the vanquished Republican “should have embraced Trump.”
