President-elect Donald Trump expressed confidence that House Speaker Mike Johnson will easily retain his position if he takes decisive action to eliminate Democratic traps in the spending package. Vice President-elect JD Vance had a productive meeting with Johnson to discuss the potential continuing resolution. Despite chaos surrounding the government shutdown, Trump believes Johnson will remain speaker if he acts decisively. The now-dead-on-arrival bill included disaster aid, economic relief, and health care reform measures, but faced opposition from some GOP lawmakers. The speaker vote is scheduled for January 3, 2025.
