Trump Endorses Johnson To Stay On As House Speaker

1 week ago President-elect Donald Trump has endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson, providing crucial backing as the Louisiana Republican prepares for what is expected to be another contentious speakership race this week. Trump said in a social media post Monday that Johnson “is a good, hard working, religious man” who “will do the right thing." The signal of support from Trump comes despite his frustration with a spending deal Johnson pushed through the House days before Christmas that failed to achieve his central goal of raising the debt limit.
