House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is making the rounds to campaign with several GOP lawmakers in New York as the party looks to defend some of its most vulnerable seats and maintain its slim majority in the lower chamber.
Johnson will appear alongside several New York Republicans this week, campaigning with Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) in New York’s 17th Congressional District on Thursday before attending a “Get Out The Vote” event with GOP candidate Alison Esposito in the 18th District later that day. After that, Johnson will campaign with Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-NY) on Friday before finishing off the week with Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) in the 22nd District.
The two-day visit comes after Johnson campaigned with Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) on Wednesday in New York’s 4th District.
Johnson will be joined by former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) as the two look to build on GOP gains the party managed to secure in 2022 and establish the historically red state as a battleground for Republicans.
