“House Speaker Mike Johnson, with no shortage of problems at the Capitol, is taking a quick spring break to Florida,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“As he grapples with fallout among House conservatives over a national-security spying law and aid to Ukraine, Johnson’s team reached out to former President Donald Trump to propose that the two men turn a previously planned meeting into a public show of unity, according to a person close to Johnson.”
“Johnson seeks to highlight legislation designed to keep noncitizens from voting, the person close to Johnson said. In doing so, allies of the speaker and former president hope their public embrace will put a focus on issues they say matter to Republican voters—instead of the internal party warfare in the House that has left Johnson’s speakership hanging in the balance.”
CNN: Johnson embraces Trump as threat to oust him from speakership looms.
