Jeffries wants to have a televised debate on the shutdown with Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., dismissed the top House Democrat's demand for a primetime debate on the government shutdown.
Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., wrote to Johnson on Monday morning challenging him to a debate on the House floor "any day this week," to be broadcast live "to the American people."
Johnson suggested he would not entertain that, however, calling the move a "publicity stunt" to reporters that same morning.
quote:
"When the poll says that about 13% of the people approve of your messaging, then you make desperate pleas for attention, and that's what Hakeem Jeffries has done," Johnson said.
"We debated all this on the House floor. As you know, before we passed our bill, he spoke for seven or eight minutes. He had all of his colleagues lined up. They gave it their best shot, and they argued, and they stomped their feet and screamed at us and all that. And still we passed the bill in bipartisan fashion and sent it over to the Senate."

You know the internal polls must look bad.

They can't control the narrative anymore.
It's funny to watch them flailing.

I say yes on the condition of sombreros and a mariachi band.

Which means 1 of 2 things or both:
1) polling shows people don’t care about the shutdown and they are struggling for a foothold when they have none.
2) they are getting killed in the polling and they need some way to amplify some propaganda.

Between Shutdown Schumer and Señor Jeffries, this is getting painful to watch. They've got a serious leadership problem over there.

Jeffries is awful. Dude bombed on Meet the Press on Sunday. Johnson would run circles around him

That's a fantastic line, but I can't find the poll he is talking about. Has anyone figured that out?

Have you seen their other options in either chamber of Congress?

Jeffries can go f### himself. Mike Johnson has better things to do.

Yea confirmation that the dims don’t feel on the right side of this.
Posted on 10/6/25 at 1:30 pm to Major Dutch Schaefer
Mike Johnson doesn’t speak sombrero nor does he speak jive so it’s impossible for this debate to happen.

That's probably their share of the votes when you take all the voter fraud out.
