Trump claimed in a Friday Truth Social post that Johnson has nearly 100% support going into that day's vote, but there have already been indications that some Republicans will be opposing Johnson's continued leadership.
Johnson needs any boost he can get as Republicans have only a one vote majority headed into the new session of Congress, leaving Johnson with a narrow window on votes.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is one of the lawmakers who has said he will completely oppose Johnson's continued leadership, emphasizing the depth of opposition within the party.
Johnson ran into backlash from his own party when attempting to pass a continuing resolution budget to avoid a government shutdown, revealing fractures in Republican unity.
