Trump Is Coming to Mike Johnson’s Aid. It Might Not Matter.

Two days before the speaker election, Mike Johnson appears to be in trouble.

While only one House Republican has pledged his opposition to Johnson — Rep. Thomas Massie — plenty of others seem doubtful about supporting the speaker for another term, including Andy Biggs, Eli Crane, Paul Gosar, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Andy Harris, Chip Roy and Victoria Spartz.

Roy has even reportedly begun calling around to other House Republicans to build support for Rep. Jim Jordan.
