Biden on Johnson 'dead on arrival'

During a recent press interaction, President Joe Biden referred to House Speaker Mike Johnson as 'dead on arrival' in response to Johnson's dismissal of Biden's proposed Supreme Court reforms. Johnson had criticized Biden's plan to impose term limits on the Court, labeling it an attempt to 'delegitimize the Court' and asserting it would not be taken up by the Republican-controlled House. Biden's comment was seen as particularly odd, coming after a tumultuous week for him following pressure from Democratic leaders to step aside in the 2024 race, which he eventually did by endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris. This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the Biden administration and Republican leadership regarding judicial reforms. Johnson reacted to Biden's remarks by sharing a clip from a previous debate, highlighting Biden's perceived incoherence. The White House has indicated it may need to recalibrate Biden's role moving forward.
