House Freedom Caucus gives Johnson warning after helping him secure speaker gavel

The hard-line conservative House Freedom Caucus sent a warning to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) after he narrowly avoided being voted down by some caucus members from retaining the gavel Friday.

The letter, signed by 11 members and including Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and Chip Roy (R-TX), who did not originally vote for Johnson, said they voted for him in the end “because of our steadfast support of President Trump and to ensure the timely certification of his electors.”
