Speaker Johnson declares 'I am not resigning' amid Republican revolt over Ukraine aid

What is your response to Republicans who say this move should cost you your job and that if you don’t resign, they will try to oust you? I am not resigning, and it is. It is, in my view, an absurd notion that someone would bring a vacate motion. When we are simply here trying to do our jobs. It is not helpful to the ’cause. It is not helpful to the country. It is not help the House Republicans advance our agenda, which is in the best interest of the American people here. A secure border sound governance, and it’s not helpful to the unity that we have in the body. Look, we are in, we’re in unprecedented times, OK. We’re in dangerous times. As has been articulated here around the world and here at home. We need steady leadership. We need steady hands at the wheel. I look, I regard myself as a as a wartime speaker. I mean, in a literal sense we are. I knew that when I took the gavel, I didn’t anticipate that this would be easy path. We’re we’re going to, we’re going to work this out today and we’ll have a lot more comment for you today, for you later. But I’m going to tell you that I am not concerned about this. I am going to do my job and I think that’s what the American people expect of us. Thanks so much. Calling their bluff, Mr. Speaker.
