House Speaker Mike Johnson Endorses Trump for 2024 Presidential Bid

Johnson Defends Trump's False Election Claims Amid Potential Government Shutdown

House Speaker Mike Johnson has publicly endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential bid, stating he is 'all in' for Trump and expects him to be the Republican nominee.
Johnson's endorsement marks a departure from his predecessor, Kevin McCarthy, who refrained from formally endorsing Trump's third run for the White House.
Johnson, a constitutional lawyer, served on Trump's impeachment team and voted to sustain the objection to electoral votes on January 6, 2021.
Johnson defended his endorsement despite Trump's false claims about the 2020 election, arguing that Trump truly believes the election was stolen.
Johnson's endorsement comes as he faces a potential government shutdown at the end of the week, and he believes there will be bipartisan support for his short-term spending bill.
