Former President Donald Trump issued a message congratulating new House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after he was officially selected for the coveted position “Congratulations to Rep. Mike Johnson,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “He will be a GREAT ‘SPEAKER.’ MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
This comes after Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) dropped his bid for the Speaker’s gavel Wednesday, only hours after he had secured the GOP nomination for the position.
