House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced his plan to retain his leadership of the GOP and the chamber after the 2024 election, promising an “aggressive 100 days” under a Republican-controlled Congress and White House.

“I have not given a lot of thought about the next Congress because I’m so busy with my responsibilities right now. My intention is to stay as Speaker and stay in leadership because we’re laying a lot of important groundwork right now for the big work that we’ll be doing,” Johnson told Fox News last week.

“But each day has enough concern of its own right now. And I’ve got – we’ve got a very full, very busy agenda right now. And that’s where my focus is,” he added.

During the interview, he also shared his vision for Congress in 2025, expressing his confidence that the GOP would have the majority in the House, as well as win the Senate and the White House.

“We would absolutely turn our attention to securing the border and ending the catastrophe that the Biden administration has created. Obviously, we would continue to address the China threat and increase our stature on the world stage. That’s what the White House would be focused on, and we would give assistance in the House in every way possible,” he said.

Johnson identified additional priorities, including strengthening U.S. defense, tax reform, and investigating the weaponization of the federal government. He also stressed the importance of legislative progress on artificial intelligence.

“We’d have a very aggressive first 100 days of the Congress agenda, and we’re kind of excited about that prospect,” Johnson said.

Meanwhile, things have gone from bad to worse for President Biden.

In an exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University poll, former President Donald Trump defeated Biden 40% to 38%, drawing a near-tie in a volatile electorate as the candidates get underway.

“Nearly eight months out, the election is not set yet. One in four surveyed said they might change their minds before November. That unsettled sentiment was bipartisan, including 14% of Biden voters and 15% of Trump voters,” USA Today reported.

The outlet added: “Most of those now backing a third-party candidate said they were open to changing their minds, among them 75% of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supporters and 94% of Jill Stein supporters. That signals the potential erosion independent candidates often see as Election Day nears. It also provides a big opportunity for each major-party candidate to make his case to voters who are now reluctant to support him and to convince those voters that it would be dangerous or unwise to back the other guy.”

Concerns about the chaotic situation along the U.S.-Mexico border and illegal immigration in general have topped the list of concerns for most Americans.
