Speaker Mike Johnson Optimistically Declares The Kitchen Table Issues Are Going To Determine The Midterms'

Rep. Mike Johnson said he is confident President Donald Trump will announce a peace deal with Iran soon. Johnson said the deal would include a 60-day period to finalize details, with the top condition that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. He linked the agreement to reopening the Strait of Hormuz, which he said would improve global stability and reduce gas prices. Johnson connected lower energy costs to lower grocery prices through reduced transportation costs. He said economic legislation focused on affordability and cost of living, and he argued that settling the Iran situation would help kitchen-table issues before the midterms. He also cited better candidates and fundraising advantages as reasons for expecting Republican gains.

"Johnson said he was very confident that President Donald Trump will announce a peace deal with Iran very soon. This will allow 60 days to get the details done, Johnson said, and the number-one condition has been that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. We'll take care of the nuclear dust. We'll get the Strait of Hormuz reopened, which will be great for gas prices here and stability around the world. And that's why all the regional allies there and all the regional countries are following U.S. leadership under President Trump."

"Johnson continued, We put in all those conditions in the economy to let it take off like a rocket, and we were doing that at the beginning of the first quarter, and then the Iran skirmish began. So, when this settles down, gas prices come back down to earth, that means your grocery prices come down again because of transport costs and all the rest. It's going to be a big factor. The kitchen table issues are gonna decide the midterms."

"Can those things come down in time to help you out in the midterms? Campos-Duffy asked. Yes, we got plenty of runway, we have better candidates, we have a fundraising advantage, Johnson said. We're super excited about the midterms. I'm absolutely convinced that we're gonna grow the majority and get this done and make history."
