Former President Trump lauded Representative Mike Johnson's re-election as Speaker of the House, emphasizing the unity within the Republican Party and framing the victory as a continuation of his "Make America Great Again" agenda. In a statement to Fox News Digital, Trump expressed his pride in supporting Johnson and praised House Republicans for their performance throughout the election process. He described the outcome as a testament to the resounding success of the 2024 presidential election, where he claims to have secured significant victories across the board.

Trump expressed confidence in Johnson's leadership, predicting a successful tenure as Speaker. He highlighted the strengthened bonds among House Republicans, attributing this cohesion to the recent election process. Trump's remarks underscored his belief that the 2024 election results, including his purported wins in all seven swing states and the popular vote, reflect the nation's endorsement of his political vision.

The former president emphasized the collaborative spirit within the Republican Party, stating that they would work together to benefit the American people. He expressed optimism about the future, promising a return to strength and common sense in governance. In a concise declaration, Trump proclaimed, "America is back."

Johnson's victory in the first round of voting stood in stark contrast to the protracted speaker election of 2023. Johnson's supporters had cautioned that a prolonged contest could have delayed the certification of Trump's presidential victory. Trump had publicly endorsed Johnson last month and continued to voice his support throughout the process, even taking to Truth Social to wish Johnson luck and emphasize the significance of his win for the Republican Party. Johnson responded on X (formerly Twitter), thanking Trump and pledging to unite Congressional Republicans to advance the "America First" agenda.
