“The American people need immediate relief from all the destructive policies of the last administration. President Mike Johnson is a good, hardworking and religious man,” Trump has said of him on his Truth Social platform.

“We have five Republicans who will not commit to voting for Mike Johnson, and he can only lose one or two votes,” Comer said in an interview with Fox News, in which he announced that he would “strongly encourage” Trump to mediate.
