President-elect Donald Trump told Fox News Digital that House Speaker Mike Johnson will “easily remain speaker” in the next Congress if he “acts decisively and tough” and avoids “all of the traps being set by Democrats” in the spending package.
Fox News spoke with the president-elect after the bipartisan deal to prevent a partial government shutdown collapsed. “Anybody that supports a bill that doesn’t take care of the Democrat quicksand known as the debt ceiling should be primaried and disposed of as quickly as possible,” Trump told the outlet.
