House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) proudly reaffirmed his strong support for former President Donald Trump in a recent CNBC interview, making it crystal clear that he is “all in” for the MAGA movement. Johnson, who was one of the former president’s staunchest allies in Congress, confidently endorsed Trump and expressed his unwavering commitment to seeing him as the Republican nominee in the next election.
This bold statement from Speaker Johnson sends a clear message about the overwhelming influence and control that President Trump still holds over members of Congress. With over 70 House GOP caucus members publicly pledging their support to the former president, it’s evident that Trump’s legacy continues to shape the direction of the Republican Party.

The move also underscores the struggles of other Republican figures, such as Governor Ron DeSantis, who failed to garner the same level of loyalty and enthusiasm among their colleagues. In fact, the lukewarm response from former Speaker Kevin McCarthy regarding his support for Trump led to his ousting, paving the way for Johnson to step into the role and champion conservative principles.
Unsurprisingly, Democrats wasted no time in attempting to tie moderate Republicans to Speaker Johnson, while liberal media outlets launched baseless attacks on him, including a problematic article from The Daily Beast. These attempts to undermine Johnson’s credibility and integrity only serve as a testament to the strength of his convictions and his unwavering dedication to serving the American people.
As the Republican National Committee faces scrutiny over the party’s lackluster performance in the 2023 elections, there are growing calls to unify behind President Trump and cancel the remaining GOP presidential debates. This shift in focus toward unifying the party under Trump’s leadership reflects the overwhelming support and confidence in his ability to lead the Republican Party forward.
Speaker Johnson’s outspoken support for Trump comes at a time when the former president continues to dominate the field of potential candidates. With Trump leading by substantial margins and opting to skip GOP debates, it’s become increasingly clear that he remains a formidable force within the Republican Party, positioning himself as the frontrunner for the party’s nomination in the upcoming election.
