Mike Johnson forced to risk shutdown over Trump's election fraud 'delusions': columnist

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

33% : Funding for the federal government ends Sept. 30, meaning all nonessential services shut down the next day, and Trump and his "chaos caucus" allies are insisting that Democrats accept the voter ID requirements along with the draconian spending cuts they always demand - and never get - as part of a stopgap funding measure.
31% : "But Trump says that's what Republicans should do if they don't get their way.
26% : ALSO READ: Right-wing U.S. media company linked to Russian propaganda effort: Dept. of Justice"As the highest-ranking elected Republican, and someone who won't be speaker next year if Republicans don't hold onto the House, Johnson should know how much of an utter disaster it would be to have the GOP be blamed for a government shutdown as the November election looms," Brown wrote.
22% : It's not clear Johnson has the GOP votes to extend the deadline, and being unable to pass even that basic legislation could hurt Republicans in November, but Brown said that's the spot Trump and his allies have left the speaker.
19% : Nor is there a mass voter fraud network, as Trump and his allies have insinuated.
12% : "At worst, Johnson refuses to bring a Senate bill to the floor without the SAVE Act attached as Trump would prefer, bringing the gears of government grinding to a halt while his members are out trying to convince voters to send them back to Washington," Brown added.
12% : "This apparently is the only way forward for Johnson, hemmed in as he is by the delusions of Trump and his acolytes," Brown wrote.
