He's claiming there was no quid pro quo, but I'm skeptical. Damned impressive turnaround.

What's your assessment of Mike Johnson? Do you think he's a good speaker of the house?

These next few months in my mind will finally tell us if he is good or not.
When he was thrown into it he not only did not have any leadership experience in Congress but also had to deal with a Dem Senate and a Dem President. Now that he can avoid having to navigate these huge issues I think he will be able to execute much better and much quicker legislation.
We will have to see though how it shakes out but I am optimistic at the moment.
