Mike Johnson, who applauded other parts of Jeffries's speech, notably does not applaud after Jeffries vows to protect Social Security and Medicare

Jeffries mentions Trump's election, prompting huge cheers from Republicans. He then says, "it's okay -- there are no election deniers on our side of the aisle."

💪 Merica, we're taking it back. 💯 You like Trump, you know it, time to show it. ✅ T's for Trump here:

He forgot he's not at MarALago where clap is going around...

@Acyn Project 2025 is happening, based on that speech.

I'm sorry but I just can not stand this guy. He such a liar and hypocrite.

@Acyn So fucking pathetic!🤣Who has ever had to say “please clap”

Mine Johnson starts with saying the government will give a "hand up, not a handout", after not applauding for protecting SS, Medicare, or veterans benefits. We see you.

Apparently it sounded better in his mind. He really should do a dry run or hire a good speech writer.

Sounds like mikey is trying to talk himself into believing what he is saying.

Hes starting to respond to his own speech, during the speech, in similar ways Trump does ... not quite "I've never read this before" but "oh I forgot that was put in there"
