House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can count on Rep. Dan Meuser's, R-Pa., support, the congressman told Newsmax on Friday.
"He is one piece of the trifecta that the American people have voted for," Meuser said on "National Report." "We have President [Donald] Trump, of course, going to be leading the white House. We've got Republican leadership in the Senate with John Thune. And Mike Johnson will fit well into the vision, the plan, and the execution that all three bodies will bring to the America First agenda led by President Trump."
Meuser said he has great respect for Johnson, with whom he has had a friendship for years.
"He's very smart, honest, capable," Meuser said. "But with the leadership of President Trump, I know our agenda is going to be fulfilled. And Mike has committed to working within that agenda."
With a slim Republican majority, Johnson can only afford one Republican holdout. Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., has already said he opposes Johnson. Meuser said it is important for the conference to stick together.
"We have to be a team, especially with a one to two vote majority that we have," Meuser said. "I implore our members not to negotiate for themselves, but to negotiate for what's best for the America First agenda, which means what's best for the United States of America.
"And that means all Americans. We need all Republican members on board because all the Democrats are going to vote for the old agenda of taxing and spending, worldwide weakness, and domestic weakness."
