Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-MT) discouraged another election for speaker of the House because it would distract from President-elect Donald Trump‘s first days in office.

Zinke voiced his support for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Fox Business’s Mornings with Maria Bartiromo on Thursday. This comes after rumblings that Johnson may lose his leadership position after nearly coming to a government shutdown with his latest stopgap spending bill.
