Trump Gives 'Complete and Total Endorsement' to Mike Johnson as Speaker Ahead of January 3 Vote
Dec 30, 2024, 03:23 PM
Former President Donald Trump has endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson for re-election to his leadership position in the upcoming vote on January 3, when the 119th Congress convenes. In a statement released on Truth Social on December 30th, Trump described Johnson as a "good, hard working, religious man" and declared his "Complete & Total Endorsement," adding, "Let's not blow this great opportunity which we have been given." Johnson's leadership had faced internal Republican opposition following his handling of a recent short-term funding agreement that prevented a government shutdown. Trump's endorsement is viewed as a significant boost for Johnson as he seeks to secure the support of GOP members in the upcoming vote.
