GOP 2024 field congratulates newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump gestures after speaking Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023, at Palm Beach County Convention Center in West Palm Beach, Florida. A judge has rejected an attempt by Trump to dismiss a lawsuit seeking to keep him off the ballot in Colorado, ruling that his objections on free-speech grounds did not apply. The decision paves the way for a trial later this month over whether a constitutional "insurrection" clause can bar him from running again for the White House.

Republican presidential candidates began congratulating and praising the newly elected House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after 220 House Republicans voted in favor of him to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries‘s (D-NY) 209 votes Wednesday afternoon.
