Donald Trump has publicly defended House Speaker Mike Johnson against a faction of far-right Republicans, including one of Trump's closest allies, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. These Republicans have expressed discontent with Johnson's leadership, particularly his reliance on Democratic votes to pass legislation. Trump's support was showcased during a joint appearance with Johnson at Mar-a-Lago, amid threats to Johnson's speakership. Trump praised Johnson's performance, stating he is doing a 'very good job' and emphasized his good relationship with both Johnson and Greene, despite the latter's efforts to force a vote on ousting the House leader over disagreements on Ukraine aid and the use of a controversial 'spy tool' known as FISA.
