House Speaker Mike Johnson is set to join former President Donald Trump on Friday in an appearance that will focus on the topic of 'election integrity.' This event is expected to amplify Trump's claims of widespread election fraud in the 2020 election, a narrative that has been widely debunked.
Johnson, the country's most powerful elected Republican, is facing pressure from Trump-aligned members of his own party and is seeking to secure his position as House Speaker. The meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida comes at a time when the former president's influence within the GOP is being challenged.
