Republicans secured the White House and U.S. Senate in the 2024 elections, with House Speaker Mike Johnson confident about retaining his position. Johnson expressed confidence that House Republicans would maintain their majority and keep him as speaker,
citing their year-long preparation for the next Congress. He also suggested that, despite Trump’s growing lead in the Electoral College, the GOP’s House majority would likely remain small.
