Speaker Mike Johnson's message to voters on state of economy: "You don't just flip a switch"

House Speaker Mike Johnson, who has led House Republicans since 2023, told CBS News' Robert Costa that he plans to remain as GOP leader even if Republicans lose their House majority in November's midterm elections. Despite the traditionally challenging dynamics for the party opposing the White House occupant, Johnson remains optimistic about retaining or expanding his party’s narrow majority. Johnson downplayed speculation stemming from a previous "tongue-in-cheek" comment suggesting he might start a lawn business if Republicans lost control of the House, emphasizing that his primary goal is to serve God and country. The interview took place near Shreveport, Louisiana, where Johnson resides.
