Speaker Mike Johnson is taking steps to solidify his ties with former President Donald Trump as he faces a potential vote to be stripped of the speaker's gavel. The Louisiana Republican is scheduled to join Trump at Mar-a-Lago for a joint event on Friday to address 'election integrity,' an issue of significance to both figures.
Johnson's decision to engage with Trump comes at a critical juncture as GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia contemplates a move to remove him from his leadership position. The event in Florida is not only aimed at highlighting election integrity but also serves as an opportunity for Johnson to discuss a potential Ukraine aid package with Trump, a contentious issue that could impact his speakership.
