President Donald Trump expressed his support Friday for the re-election of House Speaker and Louisiana Republican Congressman Mike Johnson in the upcoming midterm elections. Through a publication in his Truth Social account, Trump pointed out that Johnson is a great and courageous person who has efficiently fulfilled his role in Congress. "Congressman Mike Johnson is a Great Man, an outstanding Representative for the wonderful people of Louisiana’s 4th Congressional District, and a strong and fearless Speaker of the United States House of Representatives. He is able to get things done when nobody else can!" the Republican leader wrote on his social network.

Similarly, Trump highlighted Johnson's insistence on fighting for the U.S. economy and standing up for the nation's farmers, as well as law and order. "As Speaker, Mike is working tirelessly to deliver and codify our very successful America First and Make America Great Again Agenda. He is fighting hard to Grow our Economy, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Champion our Great Farmers and American Agriculture, Promote MADE IN THE U. S. A. , Advance American Energy DOMINANCE, Keep our Border SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, Ensure LAW AND ORDER, Strengthen our Brave Military/Veterans, Safeguard our Elections, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment. Mike Johnson is a true friend, fighter, and WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election — HE IS A GREAT PATRIOT WHO WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" Trump stressed.

Impeachment of activist judges

Trump's announcement came shortly after it was revealed that the Republican caucus in the lower chamber was reviving separate attempts to impeach judges accused of blocking the conservative leader's agenda, after Johnson gave tacit approval to the initiative earlier this week. "I just spoke to him on the House floor, and he's still in support, so we're going to push to move forward on at least one," Tennessee Republican Rep. Andy Ogles told Fox News.


Ogles was one of Trump's conservative allies who last year spearheaded efforts to remove judges deemed "activist" as the administration waged legal battles with federal courts across the country over various court rulings. Earlier, the representative filed articles of impeachment against U.S. District Court Judge John Bates for blocking a Trump executive order aimed at limiting transgender recognition under federal law, as well as U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang following his ruling to halt a crackdown on foreign aid pushed by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
