  • House Republicans have said for weeks that Donald Trump would have the final say on whether Johnson keeps the gavel or is replaced.

The article from MSN discusses former President Donald Trump's endorsement of House Speaker Mike Johnson for his reelection as Speaker of the House. This endorsement comes at a critical time as Johnson faces a vote that could potentially remove him from his position, following a motion to vacate filed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump's support was expressed through a post on Truth Social, where he praised Johnson's performance and urged Republicans to back him. This move is seen as an attempt to stabilize the GOP leadership amidst internal party strife, especially after the tumultuous period following Kevin McCarthy's ouster. The article highlights the precarious situation Johnson is in, with his speakership at risk due to dissatisfaction from some conservative members of his party over issues like government funding and foreign aid.
