He’s gotten time under his feet

This one was spotted in the Washington Post. Rep. David Joyce (R-OH) was talking about Speaker Johnson and how he is getting more compfortable in the role as Speaker of the House:

This is a conflation of “have (something) under (one’s) belt” (something learned or mastered) and “get one’s feet under oneself” (finding a sense of stability and balance). A big thank you to Yvonne Stam for spotting this one and sending it in!
