Inside Mike Johnson's shutdown strategy of keeping House Republicans away from Washington

The government shutdown enters its fourth week on Wednesday — and Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is adamant that he won’t reconvene the House until Senate Democrats accept his conference’s spending bill.

But one element of Johnson’s calculus may be more public relations than legislative strategy. Part of his decision to keep House Republicans at home during the standoff could be that some of the House GOP’s members — known for their colorful personalities, confrontational tactics and headline-grabbing comments — could do more harm than good with ready access to the congressional press corps.

Johnson alluded to that dynamic earlier this month when he told reporters it was “better” for Republicans and Democrats, “probably, to be physically separated right now.”

“I wish that weren’t the case, but we do have to turn the volume down,” he said.

That was the day after Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, both Arizona Democrats, confronted Johnson and Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., in the Capitol to press them on the shutdown and the delayed swearing-in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz.
