Republican Says Trump Called Him After He Voted Against Speaker Johnson: ‘Look, I’m in the Middle of a Golf Game…’

RAJU: “In catching up with Congressman Ralph Norman, he indicated that Johnson said that there will be some changes in how he approaches the job.”

NORMAN: “[inaudible] said more conservatives will be at the table in negotiations. No four corners deal that we get it to the last minute. Let’s put people like Chip Roy. I’m just using him as an example, like other people who are true, know how to negotiate and we’ll fight, and we’ll put things to the American people.”

RAJU: “And what did Trump say to you? He said that Mike Johnson is the most likable person?”

NORMAN: “He was — he said — he said, look, I’m in the middle of a golf game. That was the first time I talked to him. Then he said — he said, well, you did vote for Nikki Haley. I said yes, sir, I did. We’re with you now and I said we will be with Mike Johnson.”
