House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is confident former President Donald Trump has his back if he faces a challenge at the top of the Republican pile in the House.

Johnson could face a challenge from a disgruntled Republican colleague eager to become the next speaker of the House post-election if Republicans succeed in holding on to their majority. A nasty interparty fight could play out similar to the chaotic scenario that unfolded last year when former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy had to survive 15 rounds of votes to win the gavel that was taken away from him months later.
