House Speaker Mike Johnson is making a campaign pilgrimage to visit Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson , R-La., speaks during a news conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday, April 10, 2024, in Washington. is making a campaign pilgrimage to visit Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago, a rite of passage as the embattled Republican leader positions himself, and his GOP majority, side-by-side with the indicted ex-president.
Such was the case when Kevin McCarthy, then the House GOP leader, trekked to Mar-a-Lago after having been critical of the defeated president after the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. A cheery photo was posted afterward, a sign of their mending relationship. Johnson of Louisiana understands he needs Trump's backing to conduct almost any business in the House — including his next big priority, providing U.S. aid to Ukraine to fight Russia's invasion.
Even still, Trump urged Republicans to "kill" a national security surveillance bill that Johnson had personally worked to pass, contributing to a sudden defeat that sent the House spiraling this week into crisis. It was expected to try again to pass the bill Friday before Johnson departs for Florida.
As he runs to reclaim the White House, Trump has essentially taken over the Republican National Committee, turning the campaign apparatus toward his priorities. He supported Michael Whatley to lead the RNC, which created a new "Election Integrity Division" and says it is working to hire thousands of lawyers across the country.
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, said he was supportive of those proposals. "How do you ensure that noncitizens are not voting? That's that's what this is all about."
