The alliance between Speaker Mike Johnson and President-elect Donald Trump may prove to be the most important relationship in Washington.
Johnson sent shockwaves around Capitol Hill when he decided to oust Rep. Mike Turner, R-Ohio — a staunch NATO supporter who has aggressively pushed for U.S. aid to Ukraine — as chair of the House Intelligence Committee and replace him with Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., a conservative who voted against the most recent Ukraine aid package.
House Speaker Mike Johnson is laying down a highly ambitious timeline to approve President-elect Donald Trump’s big-ticket legislative agenda.
House Republicans will be defending their razor-thin majority for the second half of President-elect Donald Trump’s second term.
The House speaker said President Joe Biden will be remembered for a "wide-open border" and "the skyrocketing cost of living."
Johnson also blasted California’s Democratic leadership, saying, "It appears to us that state and local leaders were derelict in their duty."
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said he “won’t commit” to providing aid without conditions to the flame-engulfed region of Los Angeles County.
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Thursday selected Rep. Rick Crawford (R-Ark.) to chair the House Intelligence Committee, elevating the veteran panel member to the role after he removed Rep. Mike
U.S. Senate Republicans on Tuesday largely deflected or altogether avoided questions about President Trump’s broad clemency for more than 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants, including many who beat police officers and trashed offices as lawmakers hid in designated safe areas.
Just hours after being sworn in, Trump pardoned more than 1,500 people charged with crimes in connection to the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Trump had repeatedly vowed to pardon the rioters who stormed the Capitol that day throughout his campaign, despite some of them being convicted of assaulting a police officer.
With narrow majorities in Congress, the Republicans have little room for error as they work to advance the president’s plans on taxes and the border.
