“Is the message for Republicans that you have to be in lockstep with the president or you will face defeat” CBS News’ Caitlin Huey Burns asked Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday about the recent defeats of Rep. Thomas Massie and Sen. Bill Cassidy in their Republican primaries. Johnson said the message is that the party needs people who are not “trying to carve out their own lane and do something that's destructive or counterproductive” to an “America First agenda.” #republican #gop #news #politic
