FIRST ON FOX:<\/strong> President-elect Trump reacted to Mike Johnson\u2019s<\/a> re-election as speaker of the House, telling Fox News Digital the process brought House Republicans “even closer together,” and said it is a continuation of “Make America Great Again.”<\/p>\n

Johnson was re-elected speaker<\/a> of the House Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sources told Fox News Digital that the president-elect was in “constant communication” with House Republicans throughout the process. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Trump said it was “a great honor to have helped.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

MIKE JOHNSON RE-ELECTED HOUSE SPEAKER AS GOP MUTINY THREAT DISSOLVES<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“It is all a great continuation of \u2018Make America Great Again,\u2019” Trump said.<\/p>\n

“Mike Johnson will do a fabulous job as speaker,” Trump said. “House Republican membership was fantastic.”<\/p>\n

“This process has brought them even closer together,” he said. “It is all a reflection of the great presidential election of 2024 where we won all seven swing states, the popular vote and everything else there is to win.”<\/p>\n

“We will all be working together with total benefit going to the people of our nation,” he said. “Our country will be run with strength and common sense again.”<\/p>\n

He added: “America is back.”<\/p>\n

Johnson won along party lines during the first round of voting, a stark contrast to his predecessor\u2019s drawn-out, 15-round battle in 2023.<\/p>\n

Johnson’s allies warned in return that a prolonged House speaker fight could delay Congress’ joint session to certify President-elect Trump’s victory, slated for Monday.<\/p>\n

Johnson also had a key backer in Trump, who first emphasized his support for the GOP leader last month in an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, and throughout the process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Good luck today for Speaker Mike Johnson, a fine man of great ability, who is very close to having 100% support. A win for Mike today will be a big win for the Republican Party, and yet another acknowledgment of our 129 year most consequential Presidential Election!!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social app.<\/p>\n

Johnson wrote on X in response, “Thank you, President Trump! Today is a new day in America. Congressional Republicans must stay united to quickly deliver President Trump\u2019s America First agenda. Let\u2019s get it done.”<\/p>\n

Johnson’s victory marks the start of his first full term as speaker. Johnson won the gavel in October 2023 after three weeks of closed-door talks following the ouster of ex-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
