WASHINGTON — As Speaker Mike Johnson marks one year on the job Friday, he’s fighting hard to preserve House Republicans’ razor-thin majority — and his speakership.
I’m going to be the speaker of the House,” Johnson said in a recent sit-down interview with NBC News at a campaign stop in Hellertown, Pennsylvania.
"It's going to be a free-for-all" if Republicans lose the House and Trump loses the White House, a third House GOP lawmaker added.
2 GOP leader, Scalise also has not spoken publicly about what he’d run for in the minority.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., is expected to run for minority leader if Republicans lose the House.
