Johnson claims House GOP leadership remains fully united ahead of November elections
House Speaker Mike Johnson said the Republican leadership team is completely united as the party faces the possibility of losing its narrow House majority in November.
During a campaign stop in New Bern, North Carolina, House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that the Republican leadership in the House is "totally united" despite speculation about the party’s prospects after the upcoming election. He said there is no drama or intrigue among the leadership circle and that they are all concentrated on winning a majority. When asked about talks with other leaders or President Donald Trump, Johnson did not provide details, emphasizing instead the leadership’s collective focus.
He also referenced the Congressional Leadership Fund’s recent fundraising success, noting a total of $526 million and positioning himself as the second-highest Republican fundraiser after Trump. Johnson’s comments come as other figures such as Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Rep. Jim Jordan are mentioned as potential minority leaders if Republicans lose the House.
