House Speaker Mike Johnson pushes odd claims about working overtime and lack of sleep

House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed exhaustion as the government shutdown entered its fourth week, pushing odd claims about his lack of sleep and working overtime during a Capitol Hill press conference. The Louisiana Republican attributed his fatigue to the prolonged shutdown, stating he is 'working over 24 hours a day' without adequate rest. Johnson's comments may be seen as an attempt to garner sympathy from lawmakers, but critics have questioned the sincerity behind his claims.
