Trump endorses Mike Johnson for speaker in meeting with House Republicans
Quote:
A triumphant President-elect Donald Trump huddled with House Republicans ahead of their leadership elections on Wednesday and threw his support behind Speaker Mike Johnson, a key ally, as the GOP prepares for unified control of government next year.
Endorsing the Louisiana Republican for two more years as speaker, Trump said he is "with him all the way," using such words as “tremendous” and “terrific” to describe Johnson, according to Republican sources in the closed-door meeting at the Hyatt Regency hotel near the Capitol.
The 45th and future 47th president received multiple standing ovations from rank-and-file Republicans during the meeting. Introducing Trump on stage, Johnson called Trump the "Comeback King."
“We did something that no one thought could be done," the speaker said, adding that congressional Republicans rode a Trump wave to victory.

Also Wednesday, Johnson’s top two lieutenants — Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., and Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn. — are on track to win re-election to the No. 2 and No. 3 jobs. As of Tuesday night, they were running unopposed.
