Several media outlets are reporting Republicans will retain control of the U-S House completing the GOP trifecta in Washington. In a press conference today on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, House Speaker Mike Johnson from Bossier Parish says Republicans are ready to deliver on Trump’s agenda.
“This leadership will hit the ground running to deliver President Trump’s agenda in the 119th Congress, and we will work closely with him and his administration to turn this country around and unleash, as he says, ‘A new golden age in America,'” Johnson said.
There are still a number of Congressional races undecided, but Johnson expects Republicans majority will be larger than what they have in the current Congress. Johnson says he did more than 360 campaign events across 40 states to secure a GOP majority in the House.
“I logged enough miles to circumnavigate the globe five-and-a-half times. But it was worth it, it was worth it. And we got extraordinary candidates, we flipped blue seats to red as we planned, and we kept this majority,” Johnson said.
Johnson says Republicans in the House and Senate have a mandate. He says the American people want secure borders, lower costs for groceries and gasoline, and return to common sense in classrooms and government agencies. He says they will be ready on day one to deliver on America’s mandate. Johnson says they were not ready at the start of Trump’s first term.
“We are not going to make those mistakes again. We will be ready on day one. We are prepared this time,” Johnson explained.
