As President Donald Trump continues to wield near-unchallenged influence over House Republicans, hes reportedly joked behind the scenes about effectively holding the position of president and House speaker, two insiders revealed to The New York Times in its report Saturday.
Im the speaker and the president, Trump said jokingly, according to two insiders who spoke with the Times on the condition of anonymity.
As of Saturday, the House has been in recess for 25 days, with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) refusing to reconvene the chamber until the Senate adopts a spending bill to fund the government and end the shutdown. The dispute centers on health care subsidies set to expire this year: Republicans have refused to extend them, while Democrats have resisted supporting any spending bill that omits an extension.
