Johnson Projected to Win Fifth House Term

Mike Johnson won't run for minority leader in the next Congress, the New York Post and Daily Caller report, after he told staff so on a call. The Post calls the midterm a generational wipeout for Republicans, and Daily Caller says Democrats are headed for around 250 seats. Fox News has Johnson winning nearly 60 percent in his Louisiana district, so he gets a fifth term in his own pasture while the rest of the barn burns. Jim Jordan is now expected to run for the job, which has the whole conference running around like a chicken with its head cut off. The Post says Johnson is expected to stay in Congress, which is about the only thing this year that went according to plan.
