President-elect Trump provided his full and complete endorsement of Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Monday, days earlier than a Home vote on Friday to elect a brand new Speaker.

“Speaker Mike Johnson is a good, hard working, religious man. He will do the right thing, and we will continue to WIN. Mike has my Complete & Total Endorsement. MAGA!” Trump wrote in a submit on Reality Social.

Trump’s public endorsement could possibly be a key to a win by Johnson, who can solely afford a handful of GOP defections and be elected Speaker.

Anger from GOP members about how Johnson has dealt with numerous points, together with the end-of-year funding package deal to maintain the federal government open, has thrown Johnson’s Speakership into query.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has stated he is not going to help Johnson, and several other different hardline conservatives is not going to decide to supporting him.

Due to the razor-thin Home GOP majority, Johnson can not afford to lose a couple of Republican vote for Speaker, assuming each member is current and votes for a candidate.
