House Republicans undecided on Johnson’s speakership despite Trump’s support

A handful of House Republicans remain undecided on whether to support Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) House speakership bid even after President-elect Donald Trump endorsed him for a second term.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) said he and “a number of my colleagues” are uncommitted on who to support during the speaker election Friday, even as many lawmakers consider Johnson a “good friend.” Several Republicans are upset with how the speaker handled government spending negotiations earlier this month, according to Roy, leaving them to wonder if Johnson is the best option to pursue Trump’s agenda.
