Mike Johnson Lays Out The Scenario That Would Sink Donald Trump’s Presidency

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) acknowledged Tuesday night the high stakes of the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.

If Republicans lose control of the House, Johnson warned it would effectively doom President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Speaking on Newsmax after Trump’s State of the Union address, Johnson said he is “very bullish” about GOP chances but warned of the consequences if voters hand the chamber back to Democrats.

“If we lost the midterms — heaven forbid — if we lost the majority in the House, it would be the end of the Trump presidency in real effect,” Johnson said.

He argued that Trump needs a full four years in office “not just two” to “fix the mess” he claimed the president inherited from Joe Biden, adding: “So we’ve got to keep this going.”

Johnson also praised Trump’s lie-packed speech, suggesting it could have gone on even longer than the record time it did and slammed Democrats as “shameful” for criticizing Trump in the chamber.
