John, by Constitutional standards, the closest Republican to the presidency of the United States is not Donald Trump.

Today, it is Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, second in line to the presidency behind Vice President Kamala Harris.

If that does not demonstrate how critical our election in CT-05 and the fight to flip the House of Representatives is this fall, nothing will.

A MAGA extremist and Trump apologist like Mike Johnson, who even served as Trump’s defense counsel in his first impeachment trial, has no business being second in line to the presidency.

We need a Democratic Speaker to help protect our democracy and get things done, not fight MAGA culture wars and undermine the rule of law.

I have been named one of the most vulnerable House incumbents, and CT-05 is critical to winning the majority. Chip in $5 to help me win this race.

The Speaker of the House is one of the most important positions in our government to get legislation passed. With your support, we will not only keep CT-05 blue — we will pave the way back to the majority for the entire country.
