Dec 30, 2024, 03:18 PM

President-elect Donald Trump has officially endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson for re-election ahead of the upcoming vote on January 3rd, 2025. Trump's endorsement, announced on December 30, 2024, praised Johnson as a 'fantastic leader' and offered his 'complete and total endorsement.' This comes as House Republicans express growing support for Johnson's re-election despite internal disagreements over his recent handling of a short-term funding bill that prevented a government shutdown. Representative Mike Lawler and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski have both affirmed their support for Johnson. The House Speaker election, set for January 3rd, 2025, will determine the leadership for the 119th United States Congress. Trump's backing is expected to bolster Johnson's position ahead of the vote.
