Speaker Mike Johnson to CBN News: Big Beautiful Bill All About 'Common Sense and Morality'

For Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, recent cheers from fellow Republicans have been both heartfelt and well-earned. It's not been easy to say the least. He has managed to squeeze out challenging legislative wins with virtually no room for error: just a three-seat majority and a party full of divergent views. It culminated with delivering President Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" right on schedule, July 4th.

So, what has been the 'secret sauce'? "Well, for me, I'm pretty open about this as a matter of faith," Speaker Johnson tells CBN News. "I quote often John Quincy Adams. He said, 'Duty is ours, results are God's,' so that's a very liberating way to live. It is my biblical worldview. We be faithful in the little things that God puts before us today, and then He takes care of the rest. And so that's what I do here. There's a lot of patience in prayer that delivers all these legislative victories. It's not pulling rabbits out of a magic hat, as some people have tried to analogize the last few days. It's a lot of work that goes into this, and frankly, a lot of faith."
