Johnson Backs Trump’s Idea Of GOP
GOP Convention Proposal
House Speaker Mike Johnson supports Donald Trump’s proposal for a Republican National Convention before the 2026 midterms.
“Mike, I’ve got a great idea,” Trump told Johnson.
Johnson replied, “Mr. President, let’s go,” calling it “a great rallying point” to energize voters.
Trump’s Motivation
Trump announced on Truth Social he may recommend the event:
“It has never been done before.
STAY TUNED!!!” He praised Republican momentum, writing,
“We have raised far more money than the Democrats,” and highlighted gains under his leadership.
WATCH:
Voter Registration Shift
New voter registration data shows Republicans gaining an edge for the first time since 2018.
“Democrats lost ground to Republicans in every single one” of the 30 states that track party affiliation, according to The New York Times.
Wider Implications
Analyst Michael Pruser noted the ongoing trend: “There is no silver lining…
This is month after month, year after year.”
