Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) flouted Donald Trump's endorsement of embattled House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) Monday. The Kentucky Republican announced last week that he would not support Johnson's re-election bid as speaker as other GOP lawmakers indicated they were on the fence.

President-elect Donald Trump on Monday gave his blessing to Mike Johnson in the pending race for House speaker, according to social media.

President-elect Donald Trump said he is willing to make calls to lawmakers to drum up support for Mike Johnson should there be a risk to his speakership ahead of a vote expected Friday on Capitol Hill.
