President Joe Biden, 81, is the “winner ” of the 118th Congress after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA ) bent the knee to Biden and many of his 2024 priorities, according to Punchbowl News, an establishment media organization that covers Congress.
The steamroll of Johnson by Biden serves as a somber reminder of how Republicans frequently decline to use their influence to press liberal policies that are well-liked among the electorate out of fear of winning. Liberals, in contrast , usually appear to utilize their power without concerns.

Johnson ’s tenure as speaker demonstrates why some liberals continue to be irritated with the Republican Party. Instead of using his leverage to secure the southern border, impeach Biden, cut runaway spending, or “shake up Washington, ” Johnson gave Biden “pretty much everything ” Biden asked for “without having to concede much in return, ” Punchbowl reported.
Under Johnson’s leadership, Biden may proclaim the following policies in the run-up to the November election:
- Reauthorizing FISA
- Subsidizing the Ukraine conflict
- Avoiding senate
- Keeping budgets constant
- GOP House under GOP power
Biden’s new victory is a good indicator for the embattled president, who suffers from historically low voting, time concerns, Democrat criticism over the Israel/Hamas battle, and weak enthusiasm.

Just about 40 percent of Americans approve of Biden’s work efficiency, well below the 50 cent level that occupants generally need to get election. One in five Liberals disapprove of Biden’s work performance, a past Harvard/Harris survey found.
A strong majority of voters believe Biden’s America is on the wrong trail, as more citizens ( nine points ) look more favorably on former President Trump’s administration, a New York Times/Siena poll found next year. Forty-two percentage said Trump’s career was “mostly great for America, ” compared to only 25 percent for Biden.
