House Speaker Mike Johnson revealed that the 'little secret' he shares with former President Trump is a get-out-the-vote strategy deployed in congressional races nationwide.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Monday told voters in Pennsylvania that the 'little secret' former President Trump mentioned at his Madison Square Garden rally is a get-out-the-vote strategy, not something 'diabolical.' Democrats have been in panic since Trump teased Sunday that his 'little secret' with Johnson would help Republicans keep the House of Representatives come Election Day.
But they are convinced,' the speaker added, jokingly rubbing his hands together like he had an evil plan. On Sunday, Trump said his 'little secret' with Johnson would help Republicans win congressional elections, but he otherwise kept tight-lipped about it. 'I think with our little secret we’re going to do really well with the House, right?' Trump said, directing his remarks at Johnson. 'Our little secret is having a big impact.
Rep. Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., told the Times he took Trump to mean he had a 'backup plan' in case Republicans lose the election. 'There’s a lot of ability for a bad actor to mess with the Electoral College if he’s the speaker of the House,' he said. 'If I’m wrong, they should say so. Trump has a lot of secrets: His medical records are secret, his taxes are secret, his phone calls with Vladimir Putin are secret. Clearly he hides a lot from the American people.
