President-elect Donald Trump has outlined a plan for House Speaker Mike Johnson to retain his position in the upcoming Congress. Johnson's Speakership is threatened following a dispute over a spending bill laden with what Trump and Elon Musk, his designated waste-reduction czar, deemed as pork. Trump's suggestions include demanding decisive action from Johnson and eliminating what he perceives as Democratic traps within the spending package.
President-elect Donald Trump provided a path on Thursday for House Speaker Mike Johnson to save his job as Speaker in the next Congress.
“Anybody that supports a bill that doesn’t take care of the Democrat quicksand known as the debt ceiling should be primaried and disposed of as quickly as possible,” he said. Rep. Thomas Massie already said he wouldn’t back Johnson for speaker. Massie had been leaning that way but said this latest CR debacle was a “tipping point.”
