House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declined to commit to serving out his full term in the 120th Congress after Democrats swept up control of both chambers in the midterm elections.

Johnson had already ruled out seeking minority leadership last week, but in his first remarks since Nov. 3, the speaker was asked about his plans after the new Congress is sworn in.
