House Speaker Mike Johnson and Trump to meet at Mar-a-Lago Monday
CBSN
House Speaker Mike Johnson is visiting former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida Monday, as the two leaders of the Republican party plot their path to winning in November.
It's been two months since Johnson last traveled to Mar-a-Lago, and he made the trip as was facing a threat to his speakership from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump made it clear then and later that he backed Johnson, and Greene's attempt to oust Johnson was ultimately killed. Johnson returned the favor last month, appearing in Manhattan criminal court to support the now-convicted Trump during his trial.
"President Trump and I have constant dialogue about the plans for the election cycle and then the emerging plans about what we'll do after we win the election cycle," Johnson said Friday of his Monday meeting with Trump. "And I think we will, I think he'll be the next president. And I think we'll have a bigger majority in the House and a Republican majority in the Senate."
