Mike Johnson 'fully in support' of eliminating Education Department

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) assured that Congress is “fully in support” of Education Secretary Linda McMahon‘s efforts to eliminate her department at the request of President Donald Trump.

Johnson is fresh from a successful vote in the House to fund the government to avoid a shutdown. The Senate will vote on that later this week. Meanwhile, he supported removing the “bureaucratic bloat” that McMahon claims has befallen the department. On Fox News’s Fox and Friends Wednesday, Johnson responded to McMahon, acknowledging she will need Congress’s help.
