During a press conference at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump praised Speaker of the House Mike Johnson’s performance, despite recent criticism from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Trump emphasized Johnson’s effectiveness, stating he’s “doing a very good job” and “about as good as you’re going to do.” He expressed support for Johnson amid calls for his removal by Greene, deeming her efforts “unfortunate.”
Trump highlighted his amicable relationship with both Johnson and Greene, downplaying any discord. He redirected attention to what he perceives as more pressing issues, suggesting there are “much bigger problems” currently facing the nation.

The joint press conference between Trump and Johnson focused on discussing “election integrity.” However, it was punctuated by Greene’s appearance on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” where she criticized Johnson. Despite this, Trump’s remarks portrayed a unified front between himself and Johnson, indicating their alignment on key issues.
One of the key points from the conference was Johnson’s mention of proposed legislation to address noncitizen voting, emphasizing the Republican stance on requiring proof of citizenship at the polls. This statement underscored the broader agenda shared by Trump and Johnson regarding election laws.
