Internet divided as Speaker Mike Johnson asserts Trump is '100%' with him as GOP infighting continues

WASHINGTON, DC: As he deals with a flurry of criticism from his party, including a move to remove him from leadership by Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, House Speaker Mike Johnson asserted that former President Donald Trump is '100% with' him, according to Fox News.

Johnson informed Fox News' Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, April 14, "I spent hours with the president on Friday. He and I talked frequently…. He's 100% with me, and he said, 'We'll get this job done."

Johnson added, "What Marjorie's done with a motion to vacate is not helpful for our party, for our mission to save the country. Because if we don't grow the House majority, keep the House majority, win the Senate, and win back the White House for President Trump, we are going to lose the Republic."

On Friday, April 12, Johnson had a notable press conference at Mar-a-Lago with the former president. During the meeting, they discussed several urgent challenges confronting the country currently.

Johnson emphasized on Sunday that this year's election will be the 'most important' of everyone's lifetime, citing a few major concerns that Republicans have brought up time and time again: uncontrolled immigration, excessive spending, weakness in the global scene, the weaponization of government, and the high cost of living.

With Republican party members' persistent focus on the problem, the House speaker has faced criticism from those like Greene who claim he is not doing enough to make sure border security is a top priority.

During her appearance on 'Sunday Morning Futures' in March, the representative from Georgia gave her justification for the move. She said, "If Speaker Johnson really wanted to secure the border like he promised all of us, he would promise the American people that he would have told Chuck Schumer, 'We will not pass any government funding bills until our border and funding bills have the H.R. 2 in it, or the Laken Riley Act, or at least some measures within them, but he didn't. He completely failed in that."

Notably, Johnson has shown intentions to speak with Greene and has previously acknowledged understanding her worries.
