    McCarthy cut a deal with Biden and then reneged on it.

    Now Johnson might renege on the deal he just made with Schumer.

    So why would anyone ever think a Republican Speaker can be trusted in a negotiation?

      That’s a very good question for Schumer and the White House and every other moderate Dems that keeps trying to find bipartisan compromises with the Republican party like the last six or so years didn’t happen

        It’s paid off sometimes in the Senate, like with the bipartisan infrastructure bill. That was passed in the Democrat-controlled House and then negotiated in the Senate. The problem is the current Republican-controlled House, where extreme right wingers hold much greater sway.
