House Speaker Mike Johnson often says he sees himself as the quarterback and President-elect Donald Trump as the coach calling plays on their legislative priorities

Johnson, a Republican from north Louisiana, is pushing a single bill using a parliamentary maneuver called “budget reconciliation,” challenging the two-bill strategy pursued by a pair of Senate Republicans, Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota, and Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

President-elect Donald Trump endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson to hold onto the gavel, writing that Johnson has his “Complete & Total Endorsement.”

The House voted Friday to reelect Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., after multiple Republicans initially did not cast a vote for him in what became a tight contest spurred by pushback from a small, but influential group of Republicans against the speaker, leading to President-elect Donald Trump getting involved in discussions.

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday gave his blessing to Mike Johnson in the pending race for House speaker, according to social media.
