House Speaker Mike Johnson during Donald Trump's MSG rally predicted the GOP will control Congress.
Donald Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden was ugly and vulgar in a great many ways, but it was also lacking in subtlety. There was text, not subtext. The Republican and his allies relied on chainsaws, not scalpels. With this in mind, there was a point during the former president’s comments that was unexpected. Partway through the GOP candidate’s comments, Trump referenced House Speaker Mike Johnson, who also appeared at the New York City gathering.
“We gotta get the congressmen elected and we gotta get the senators elected, because we can take the Senate pretty easily, and I think with our little secret we’re going to do really well with the House, right? Our little secret is having a big impact,” Trump said while looking in Johnson’s direction. Appearing to point at the House speaker, the former president added, “He and I have a secret. We’ll tell you what it is when the race is over.” As a rule, national candidates never say this.
