The future American president said that he supports Johnson, but there is no absolute support for his candidacy among Republican congressmen.

US President-elect Donald Trump announced his “full” support for House Speaker Mike Johnson. CNN reported this on Monday, December 30.

Trump called on members of Congress to support Johnson, calling him a “hardworking and religious man” who can make the right decisions.

“I fully support Mike. We will continue to win! Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The vote to elect Speaker of Congress is set for Friday, January 3. Johnson needs 218 votes to win.

Meanwhile, CNN writes that some conservative members of the House of Representatives will not support Johnson, such as Thomas Massie, who has publicly announced that he will not vote for him. And even Trump’s approval didn’t change his mind.

Also, according to the publication, Congresswoman Victoria Spartz is undecided.

Johnson’s team is trying to unify the party, but there are still questions about future fiscal policy. Members of the Republican Party have expressed concerns about future fiscal policy, particularly bills aimed at reducing the national debt.

At the same time, internal discussions among Republicans continue, reminiscent of the fight for the position of Speaker Kevin McCarthy in 2023. Johnson is trying to avoid such a scenario, but his position remains weak due to the narrow majority of Republican in the House of Representatives and divisions within the party.

In the past, the media reported that Mike Johnson may lose his position due to declining support among Republicans.

Ukrainian-born congresswoman Victoria Spartz announced that she will withdraw from committee work next year and will not attend a meeting of the Republican Party caucus in the House of Representatives.
