on how he does with Hakeem Jeffries and the Democrats who declared the four qualifying criteria for Speaker that Jeffries outlined.

1. They voted to certify the 2020 election;
2. have a track record of standing up to extremism” and defending democracy, as well as
3. a “track record of governing”; and
4. agreed to support the original debt limit deal struck between the White House and McCarthy.

Sure, no Democrats voted for him. But Democrats also want to do their job and govern, not play spite and attack games.

If Jeffries claims Johnson is working with him and they produce a budget and bipartisan bills, then Johnson might get to stay no matter how loudly the coup caucus wails.
