Republican Mike Johnson narrowly won reelection Friday to the House speakership on a first ballot, overcoming hard-right GOP holdouts after a tense standoff and buoyed by a nod of support from President-elect Donald Trump.
My prediction. Johnson will be voted in. He will certify Trump. Then Trump will toss him out into the wolves just as he has a thousand other Trump loyalists before. Trump cares only about Trump and he demands that his followers sacrifice themselves to him. - robertscribbler
