Rep. Thomas Massie firmly declared his opposition to Speaker Mike Johnson, stating, 'You can pull all my fingernails out... I am not voting for Mike Johnson tomorrow, and you can take that to the bank.' This indicates a significant challenge for Johnson, who can afford only one dissenting vote.
Despite doubts from some members of the Republican caucus, former congressman Matt Gaetz expressed confidence in Johnson's reelection, asserting, 'Mike Johnson will be elected Speaker today. On the first vote.' He emphasizes the importance of this event for party unity.
Former President Donald Trump endorsed Johnson, highlighting his ability and support within the party: 'Good luck today for Speaker Mike Johnson... A win for Mike today will be a big win for the Republican Party, and yet another acknowledgment of our 129 year most consequential Presidential Election!!' This shows the stakes involved.
