From The Hill: Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) urged President-elect Trump to personally call House Republicans and urge them to back Speaker Mike Johnson’s bid to keep his gavel.
“I strongly encourage Donald Trump to get on the phone with those five or six members who won’t commit to voting for Mike Johnson because all this is going to do is delay us,” Comer said in a Sunday interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“It’s going to delay the certification of President Trump’s election. It’s going to delay the start of his first 100 days in office, which is the most important time frame of his whole presidency,” he continued. “That’s when you get the most done, historically.”
“So, I strongly encourage President Trump to get on the phone and try to get everyone united so we can work together as a team and make America great again,” Comer added in the interview, which was conducted before Trump publicly backed Johnson’s Speakership bid on Monday.
Comer stressed that Republicans don’t have time for a long, drawn-out battle like they had with former Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
