President Trump has endorsed Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) for Speaker of the House. “We are the Party of COMMON SENSE, a primary reason that we WON, in a landslide, the magnificent and historic Presidential Election of 2024. ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, 312 ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES, AND THE POPULAR VOTE BY MILLIONS OF VOTERS (Despite large scale voter fraud taking place in numerous states, including California, where votes are ridiculously still being counted, or under review!), ALL WON WITH EASE, CALM, & PROFESSIONALISM,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. “Republicans are being praised for having run a ‘legendary’ campaign! Democrats are being excoriated for their effort, having wasted 2.5 Billion Dollars, much of it unaccounted for, with some being used to illegally buy endorsements ($11,000,000 to Beyoncé, who never even sang a song, $2,000,000 to Oprah for doing next to nothing, and even $500,000 to Reverend AL, a professional con man and instigator, who agreed to ‘interview’ their ‘star spangled’ candidates, Kamala and Joe). We ran a flawless campaign, having spent FAR LESS, with lots of money left over,” he continued. “They ran a very expensive ‘sinking ship,’ embracing DOJ & FBI WEAPONIZATION against their political opponent, ME. BUT IT DIDN’T WORK, IT WAS A DISASTER!!! LETS NOT BLOW THIS GREAT OPPORTUNITY WHICH WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN. The American people need IMMEDIATE relief from all of the destructive policies of the last Administration,” he added. “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 concluded. ( @realDonaldTrump – Truth Social Post )( Donald J.

Trump TRUTH POSTS (@TruthTrumpPosts) December 30, 2024 A closer look: The Hill reports: Trump’s public endorsement could be key to a win by Johnson, who can only afford a handful of GOP defections and be elected Speaker. Anger from GOP members about how Johnson has handled various issues, including the end-of-year funding package to keep the government open, has thrown Johnson’s Speakership into question. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) has said he will not support Johnson, and several other hard-line conservatives will not commit to supporting him. Because of the razor-thin House GOP majority, Johnson cannot afford to lose more than one Republican vote for Speaker, assuming every member is present and votes for a candidate. “Thank you, President Trump! I’m honored and humbled by your support, as always. Together, we will quickly deliver on your America First agenda and usher in the new golden age of America,” Johnson said. “The American people demand and deserve that we waste no time. Let’s get to work!” he added. Thank you, President Trump! I’m honored and humbled by your support, as always.

We’ve seen Johnson partner with the democrats to send money to Ukraine, authorize spying on Americans, and blow the budget,” Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) warned.

But the same source warned that it may not be enough. Johnson allies are keeping close tabs on members who have not committed to backing him yet, including Rep. Victoria Spartz. The source told CNN that Spartz is viewed as unpredictable and that there are “also six or seven other members” who similarly remain wildcards. Over the last several weeks, Johnson’s deputies have launched an expansive whip operation, but there are still intense challenges to getting Johnson to 218 votes – the magic number needed to win the gavel. One Republican member familiar with the outreach told CNN that while the vast majority of GOP members understand how “monumentally stupid” it could be to have an extensive speaker’s battle, not every member is swayed by an argument that the party needs to be united going into the inauguration.
