While President Joe Biden rushes to push through more Ukraine aid and grant commutations as his presidency nears a controversial conclusion, Trump is laying the groundwork for what he hopes will be a significant and impactful second term. However, for Trump and the Republicans to make a substantial impact, they need a Speaker of the House\u2014a topic currently generating much discussion among conservatives. Incumbent Speaker Mike Johnson is facing renewed scrutiny and pressure following a problematic battle over a spending bill intended to prevent a government shutdown just before Christmas. Critics argue that this bill is laden with unnecessary expenditures that will exacerbate America&#8217;s national debt, making it a contentious issue for Johnson\u2014more so than even debates about transgender bathroom use.<\/p>\n<p>Prominent Republicans like Kentucky Senator Rand Paul have criticized Johnson&#8217;s costly negotiations as evidence of his inadequacy for the role. Paul has even suggested tech entrepreneur Elon Musk as a potential candidate for Speaker. In light of these frustrations from notable party members\u2014or perhaps because of them\u2014Trump has finally spoken out on the situation, offering mostly positive feedback about Johnson&#8217;s performance.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Trump took to social media to express his views on Johnson\u2019s job performance and its significance. True to form, he included jabs at some of his staunchest critics such as Hollywood figures, Reverend Al Sharpton, and &#8220;Kamala and Joe.&#8221; He stated: \u201cWe are the Party of COMMON SENSE&#8230; We WON in a landslide during the historic Presidential Election of 2024.\u201d He claimed victory across all seven swing states with 312 electoral votes while criticizing Democrats for their campaign spending inefficiencies.<\/p>\n<p>Trump emphasized that they ran an effective campaign with leftover funds while accusing Democrats of misusing resources against him through government agencies. He urged not to squander their current opportunity: \u201cThe American people need IMMEDIATE relief from all destructive policies&#8230; Speaker Mike Johnson is hardworking and will do what\u2019s right.\u201d He concluded by giving Johnson his full endorsement ahead of Trump&#8217;s official inauguration on January 20, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2384739,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Donald-Trump-18.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[34059,13348,5894,43858,3634],"class_list":["post-2384738","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-election-2024","tag-endorsement","tag-politics","tag-speaker-of-the-house","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Donald-Trump-18.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384738","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2384738"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384738\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2384742,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2384738\/revisions\/2384742"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2384739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2384738"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2384738"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2384738"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
