“What Happened to Speaker Johnson’s Honeymoon? It’s Over… Or Was it Ever There?

It has been a rocky start for Speaker Johnson’s honeymoon period in the White House. Since his early days in office, Johnson has faced an avalanche of criticism from both sides of the aisle. Whether it is related to his fiscal policies, his leadership style, or his handling of the pandemic, nothing has appeared to be easy for the newly appointed Speaker.

Questions have been raised about Johnson’s ability to strike a balance between his progressive plans and the advancement of the conservative ideals held by many in the Republican Party. Johnson has worked hard to appeal to both sides, tackling important issues such as immigration reform, job creation, and environmental regulations.

Unfortunately, the honeymoon period appears to be over, or never really began at all. Many of Johnson’s plans have been met with opposition from both sides and none of his policies have been able to gain unanimous support.

It is a difficult time for Speaker Johnson and the nation. While it is important for meaningful debates to occur, a level of consensus needs to be reached on certain issues. Furthermore, Johnson needs to build a strong foundation from which to advance his progressive agenda. Without a unified vision and unified support, his policies have little chance of becoming realities.

The nation will be watching closely as Speaker Johnson continues into his tumultuous presidency. It is yet to be seen if the honeymoon period was indeed over, or if it ever even began in the first place.
