At a House Republican press conference on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said of Trump's ruling: "They're panicking on the Democrats' side."
MIKE JOHNSON: Something is happening in the country right now and I've been traveling all over the country. I was out, uh, last week, uh, in the Rust Belt and I was in states like Ohio and Michigan and Wisconsin and Illinois and when the ruling was against President Trump, something was clearly happening across country.

And I wonder if you've felt it where and among the groups where you've been this past week. But people realize that we have reached a new low. And when you have activist prosecutors and the Democratic Party who are so desperate because of the presidential campaign and the way it's going, they understand that Donald Trump all the probes are crushing Joe Biden.

They are in a state of panic on the part of the Democrats and they are desperate to stop Donald Trump. He's winning in swing states. He is winning among the people. He is winning among new demographics that never voted Republican before they saw this happen, and they are so desperate to stop him that they are willing to use the judicial system to do so. so. That's a new low and it's a dangerous one because what they're doing is they're eroding people's faith in our own justice system.

As Scalise said, people must believe that justice is blind. You must believe that there is equal justice under the law to maintain a constitutional republic. This goes to the core of who we are, the foundation of who we are as a nation, and that's why it's bigger than just President Trump.
