Republicans competing in the veepstakes or looking for favor among the MAGA crowd are racing to the courtroom in Manhattan.
Johnson, whose job was salvaged with the help of Democrats in the House last week, was looking to bolster his credentials with“The speaker volunteered to come today to support his friend, President Trump, and was not proactively invited by the campaign,” an aide to the speaker told The Daily Beast.
The trial has become a proving-ground for Republicans to show their loyalty to Trump, who has described the trial as a politically-motivated witch hunt. The fourth week of testimony in the hush money trial has turned into a full-on veepstakes circus with Vivek Ramaswamy also attending on Tuesday after appearances from Republican Senators J.D. Vance and Tommy Tuberville on Monday.
Ramaswamy walked into court behind Trump with North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, Lara Trump, and Congressman Byron Donalds. Florida Senator Rick Scott accompanied Trump to court last week. Other visitors have included Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis and attorneys general Steve Marshall from Alabama and Brenna Bird from Iowa.
