Trump Backs Mike Johnson Amid Speaker Vote Tensions

President-elect Donald Trump has expressed strong support for House Speaker Mike Johnson, calling him a "tremendous guy" during a private meeting with House Republicans. This endorsement is expected to solidify Johnson's position ahead of GOP leadership elections and the full floor vote in January. Trump's backing may help Johnson avoid challenges from conservative hardliners, who previously ousted former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Johnson, currently unopposed, is confident in retaining his role as Speaker as Republicans prepare to control both Congress and the White House.

Trump Urges GOP Senate Leader to Enable Recess Appointments

President-elect Donald Trump is urging the next GOP Senate leader to support recess appointments, which allow temporary appointments without Senate approval when the chamber is out of session. Trump emphasized the need for this to expedite confirmations, as delays can last years. While he hasn't endorsed a candidate for the upcoming GOP leadership election, Rick Scott has expressed strong support for Trump's proposal. The practice of recess appointments has been limited by Senate pro-forma sessions and a 2014 Supreme Court ruling. Trump's push comes amid the race to replace Mitch McConnell as Senate GOP leader.
