House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said he intends to continue leading the GOP conference even after the November election despite threats from some of his colleagues to oust him from the top leadership position. 

Johnson said he plans to lead the House Republican conference “in the future,” telling reporters he has already begun to map out a plan for the party next year. In the meantime, Johnson said his “singular focus” is to expand the party’s historically slim majority, which now sits at just one vote.
