Trump's Agenda First: Scott Jennings Makes Argument For Keeping Speaker Of The House Mike Johnson

Posted • December 31, 2024: Republican Scott Jennings was on CNN Monday making the argument for why President-Elect Donald Trump wants to keep Mike Johnson as Speaker of the House. Jennings says it’s all about Trump getting his agenda passed without unnecessary delays. -- Scott Jennings says Trump endorsed Mike Johnson for House speaker because Trump wants to get to passing his agenda as soon as possible. "That ought to be a good enough reason for any member of the House Republican conference. We've got a very closely divided House." - "The only way to move anything forward here is to have teamwork. To stick together. Republicans need to start that process with the speaker vote." -- Republicans owe their election victories to Trump’s agenda. So, they owe it to him and their voters to act immediately on getting it passed.

Teamwork is great, even so let’s not forget that it is Trump’s agenda that got most of these folks elected in the first place. If Republicans can’t unite behind that, what are they even doing in Congress? The people want action not excuses. Clock is ticking. 🇺🇸 That’s the only thing that really makes sense.

House Republicans better stick together—otherwise, they’ll be debating the speaker vote longer than Biden takes to finish a sentence. Johnson is not perfect, but he beats a drawn-out fight for a replacement. Time is of the essence. Trump can work with Johnson, despite his flaws. The last time we turned over Speaker we went weeks without one. We don’t need that. But Johnson should be on a very short leash. (…)
