Speaker Johnson, Trump Meet To Discuss ‘Winning Strategy’ For 2024

House Speaker Mike Johnson convened with former President Donald Trump and National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Richard Hudson earlier this week to strategize on bolstering the narrow Republican majority for the upcoming 2024 elections.

“Just had a great meeting with President Trump this President’s Day. Together, we will grow the majority and save America!” Johnson said.

Johnson spokesman Greg Steele released a statement saying, “Speaker Johnson met with President Trump in Florida on Monday to discuss growing the majority and securing Republican victories up and down the ballot in November.”

“Specifics of the discussion were not revealed, and it’s unclear what the Republican plan is to make gains. The NRCC hit record-high fundraising in 2023, raising over $91 million going into a presidential election year, which may be impacted by Trump’s likely ascension to the status of Republican nominee when the majority is decided by a handful of swing districts,” the Washington Examiner noted.

“The Republican National Committee saw a relatively poor fundraising year in 2023, with $87.2 million raised, $93.5 million spent, $1.8 million in debts, and just $8 million in cash on hand. Trump faces his own money matters, as he owes significant court-ordered fines and is slapped with growing legal bills. In addition to the more than $55 million spent on legal fees by the former president in 2023, he’s been ordered to pay $354.9 million and $83 million in separate court cases this month,” the outlet added.

As the November elections draw nearer, Trump seems to be gaining traction against President Joe Biden across various critical issues confronting the nation.

According to a recent ABC/IPSOS poll, respondents were asked about which candidate, Trump or Biden, they perceived as better equipped to address a range of pivotal issues such as crime, immigration, the economy, guns, and others.

Overall, Americans appear to have more faith in Trump’s capability to tackle crucial present-day issues compared to Biden.

For instance, 43 percent trust Trump to handle the economy, whereas only 31 percent express the same confidence in Biden, granting Trump a +12 advantage.
