YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe last man standing in the musical-chairs competition for Speaker of the House was a little-known Louisiana member of Congress named Mike Johnson. Harry talks with Annie Karni, congressional correspondence for the New York Times, who,\ in recent week has authored several detailed pieces on the new speaker. Now the third in line for the presidency, Johnson is quickly losing his obscurity, but it’s unclear what might be the guiding principles of his tenure. His past record features rock-solid support of Trump and fundamentalist religious views, and corresponding hardline positions on culture-war issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage. Johnson already has engendered the ire of the hard right Republicans who exercise outsize power in Congress. Karni provides her sense of Johnsen as a person and public official and assesses his political performance to date.
