House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed confidence in the Republican Party's chances in the upcoming midterm elections during an appearance on Fox News' The Ingraham Angle. He warned of potential chaos if Democrats were to regain control of the House, suggesting they might move to impeach President Trump. Johnson's remarks were met with criticism from his opponents, with California Gov. Gavin Newsom and podcaster Keith Olbermann reacting on social media. The Senate's failure to pass a stopgap funding bill on Tuesday has raised concerns about a potential government shutdown if a last-minute deal is not reached before the deadline. Federal agencies have been instructed to activate contingency plans in preparation for a funding lapse. The situation remains uncertain as the deadline approaches, with the possibility of a shutdown looming.
