President-elect Donald Trump has set up another quasi-loyalty test for House Republicans before he formally reenters the White House, endorsing Speaker Mike Johnson to quell dissent and ensure a unified GOP.
Trump's endorsement via Truth Social not only reaffirms his support for Johnson but signals to House Republicans that loyalty to the speaker is essential for maintaining party cohesion ahead of critical votes.
Elon Musk joined the chorus of supporters for Johnson, highlighting the influence that high-profile endorsements from both Trump and Musk can have on Republican leadership dynamics.
Despite some conservative dissatisfaction with Johnson's previous legislative efforts, the tight margins within the House Republican majority emphasize the high stakes of unifying behind a singular speaker.
