Former President Donald Trump defended Speaker Mike Johnson after the House passed a $95 billion foreign aid package, as Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatens Johnson's ouster.

"We’ve got to election some people in Congress, much more than we have right now," Trump continued. "We have to elect some good senators. Get rid of some of the ones we have now, like Romney and others. And we have to have a big day, and we have to win the presidency. If we don’t win the presidency, I’m telling you I think our country could be finished… We are absolutely a country in decline."
