Trump urges House Speaker Johnson to reject current spending package to secure his position.
Former President Donald Trump has said that House Speaker Mike Johnson will "easily remain speaker" if he acts decisively against the current government spending package. Johnson faces internal opposition from Republicans over the funding plan, which includes items like disaster relief and a congressional pay raise. Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance are urging Johnson to remove what they call "Democrat giveaways" and address the debt ceiling. The speaker vote is set for January 3, 2025.
