Speaker Mike Johnson@SpeakerJohnsonNov 10, 2026I congratulate Rep. @Jim_Jordan, @GOPMajorityWhip, Chairwoman @RepLisaMcClain, and the entire House GOP Leadership team on their elections to lead our Conference in the 120th Congress. It is a great honor to be called upon by your colleagues to serve, and these men and women are well-equipped to stand in the gap and preserve the values that have made America the freest, most powerful, and most successful nation the world has ever known. While we face challenges ahead, they are by no means insurmountable, and I look forward to working alongside this leadership team to earn back our majority and fight to preserve this grand experiment in self-governance.
