"Speaker Johnson Asserts Trump's Lack of Influence on House Border Deal"

Speaker Mike Johnson denies that former President Trump is influencing decisions in the House regarding a potential border deal, asserting that he is the one "calling the shots." Despite some Republicans pushing for President Biden to act via executive authority, Trump has reportedly discouraged Republicans from accepting a border deal, claiming it could benefit him in the 2024 presidential election. Johnson maintains that Trump's influence is not affecting his decisions and emphasizes the need to address the border issue.
