Former President Donald Trump has endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson's bid to remain speaker ahead of the House of Representatives' vote for a new leader. The House will vote on a speaker when the new Congress convenes on Friday. Johnson's speakership faced uncertainty after some Republicans criticized his decision to support a government funding agreement with significant Democratic backing.
Washington — President-elect Donald Trump endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson 's bid to remain speaker, days before the House will return and vote for a new leader. The House is set to vote on a speaker when the new Congress convenes on Friday, with the lower chamber unable begin the business of a new legislative session without a speaker in place.
Johnson's speakership appeared in jeopardy after some Republicans expressed frustration with his decision to reach a government funding agreement with overwhelming Democratic support to keep the government open ahead of the Christmas holiday. The continuing resolution did not include an extension or elimination of the debt ceiling, a demand that Trump made earlier in negotiations.
