Mike Johnson Hits Send On Trump Impression. Then He Looks Over His Shoulder.

At a Sunday rally in Dubuque, Iowa, House Speaker Mike Johnson started doing an impersonation of President Donald Trump, then noticed Trump standing directly behind him and abruptly stopped. Trump grinned while the crowd laughed, and Johnson took a bow. The moment came as Republicans make a final push before Tuesday's general election, with Trump having appeared at dozens of events nationwide to help the party retain majorities in both chambers of Congress, according to Daily Wire.

Johnson had been describing the president's habits, saying Trump barely sleeps and phones him around one o'clock in the morning and again at 5:00 a. m. to ask if he is asleep. Johnson plays himself answering that sleep is for sissies. After he turned and spotted Trump, he apologized and said he had not planned the bit. He then called imitation a form of flattery and said the country will not see another president like Trump. His larger point was that both men had been traveling relentlessly before the vote, and that Trump showed little fatigue.

Separately, Daily Wire reports that Michigan Rep. Haley Stevens, a Democrat, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers for the open Senate seat there.
