House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has called on the Republican Party to back former President Donald Trump in an effort to challenge President Joe Biden's position. This request follows Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) withdrawing his presidential bid and endorsing Trump just two days ahead of the New Hampshire primary. If Trump secures the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential race, a potential rematch with Biden seems likely.
“I endorsed President Trump because he delivered on promises to unleash our economy, secure our border, make America energy independent, and achieve peace through strength – and I believe he will do so again as President, while helping us to grow the majority in Congress,” Johnson wrote on social media. “I encourage Republicans to unite behind President Trump so we can achieve victory in November and end the disastrous Biden presidency.”
Johnson made his remarks after Trump's many endorsements from well-known Republicans, including DeSantis's Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), millionaire Vivek Ramaswamy, and Gov. Doug Burgum (R-ND). The Republican senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) just gave Trump two more significant endorsements.
The New Hampshire primary is just over a week away, and Trump emerged victorious in the Iowa caucuses with a remarkable 51% of the vote. This victory surpassed the previous record set by Bob Dole in 1988, with a substantial 13% margin. Ahead of the primary, a recent survey revealed that Trump held 50% of the vote in the Granite State, while former UN ambassador Nikki Haley trailed behind at 39%. The study, conducted between January 16 and 19, surveyed 1,210 likely Republican primary voters, with a margin of error of +/-2.8%.
