Rep. Mike Johnson has secured the House Republican nomination for speaker with support from President-elect Donald Trump, marking a consolidation of power as they prepare for unified government.
Johnson praised Trump significantly, proclaiming him the 'comeback king,' indicating a strong alliance as they aim to execute an ambitious 100-days agenda.
Despite his nomination, Johnson faces internal dissent from hard-right conservatives and the Freedom Caucus, who are leveraging their support to extract commitments from leadership.
As they strategize for the coming term, Johnson refers to Trump as his 'coach,' highlighting the alignment of their goals for mass deportations and tax cuts.
