House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., says Republicans are "very happy" with the Super Tuesday results and likes the rematch between President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump.
"We're very happy with the results last night," Johnson told reporters Wednesday during the weekly House GOP press conference.
"The race is set now; it will be a rematch, and we like that rematch. And from my perspective, I think President Trump, what his message is resonating with the American people because this is not an untested theory.
"We know what President Trump delivered. The first two years of his administration — by just two years we had delivered the greatest economy in the history of the world, not just the U.S., and the reason was because we acted upon our core principles that we've always supported as conservatives, as Republicans. We limited the size and scope of government. We cut regulations substantially. Of course, we had historic tax reform and tax cuts.
"House Republicans are going to work hand in hand with the new president, the 47th president, which we are convinced will be President Donald Trump, and we are going to turn the catastrophe, the crisis, the decline that we've described this morning completely around."
Biden and Trump romped through more than a dozen states on Super Tuesday, all but cementing a November rematch and pushing the former president's last major rival, Nikki Haley, out of the Republican race.
Their victories from coast to coast, including the delegate-rich states of California and Texas, left little doubt about the trajectory of the race. Haley won Vermont, denying Trump a full sweep, but the former president carried other states that might have been favorable to her such as Virginia, Massachusetts, and Maine, which have large swaths of moderate voters like those who have backed her in previous states' primaries.
