Please, I beg of you, vet links before you post them. I've seen some major fakes lately, and they're not that hard to identify if you take a couple of minutes to check them. Misinformation is bad no matter who posts it.
Good luck with that.

Johnson: If we lose the majority… They will try to end the Trump administration. He won't have 4 years. He'll have only 2, because they will move to impeach him, probably on the first day of the new Congress in January 2027 and try to systematically unwind all the important reforms that we've done."
