As Republicans try to whitewash the record of new Speaker "MAGA Mike" Johnson, House Democrats are busy cementing his extremist agenda in voters' minds.
A new 30-second ad from House Democrats' super PAC, House Majority PAC, begins by reminding voters that "after all the chaos," congressional Republicans ultimately landed on "MAGA extremist Mike Johnson" as speaker of the House.
"MAGA Mike Johnson," as pro-Trumper Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida first dubbed him, is a nickname House Democrats are embracing for a speaker who would otherwise have a name so bland and forgettable that it would be next to impossible to saddle all the House Republicans in swing districts with his extremist views.
