Trump Gives Complete & Total Endorsement to Mike Johnson for House Speaker Ahead of January 3 Vote

Dec 30, 2024, 03:13 PM

Former President Donald Trump has endorsed Mike Johnson for the position of Speaker of the House in the upcoming 119th Congress. Trump's endorsement comes after recent speculation about Johnson's future in the role, particularly following a short-term funding agreement. Trump described Johnson as a 'good, hard working, religious man' who will 'do the right thing,' and emphasized that with Johnson's leadership, the Republican Party will continue to win. This endorsement, which Trump referred to as his 'Complete & Total Endorsement,' is seen as a significant boost for Johnson ahead of the January 3 vote for the Speaker position.
