Speaker Mike Johnson is huddling with President-elect Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Day, as the two strategize for a high-stakes House vote on Friday to elect a speaker for the 119th Congress.
“I’m going to be with him at Mar-a-Lago on New Year’s Day. We’re going to map out some strategy,” Johnson (R-La.) told News Radio 710 in Shreveport on Tuesday.
Trump, 78, endorsed Johnson for House speaker on Monday, quelling some of the resistance to the Louisiana Republican’s second bid for the gavel that had been building in the wake of a government funding fight last month.
