Trump breaks silence on whether he backs House Speaker Mike Johnson amid Republican chaos

Daily Mail  

Donald Trump is throwing his full support behind Mike Johnson to continue as Republican House Speaker after weeks of speculation over his future. But Trump's ringing endorsement could go a long way toward shoring up support for Johnson as Republicans prepare to move forward once the president-elect takes office on January 20. Trump's backing could be the only thing that helps get Johnson over the finish line as lawmakers in Washington face a series of looming challenges including addressing the debt limit in the new year. 'I respect and support President Trump, but his endorsement of Mike Johnson is going to work out about as well as his endorsement of Speaker Paul Ryan,' Massie wrote Monday on X.
