In a rare moment of candidness, Speaker Mike Johnson revealed a surprising political truth during an interview on Sunday, a juxtaposition not often associated with his public persona.

While discussing Elon Musk’s financial maneuvers aimed at undermining Republican candidates, Johnson provided his perspective during an interview with ABC’s Jon Karl:
“It would be a significant error on his part. Ultimately, Elon understands that his initial involvement was to support President Trump and to ensure a Republican majority in both the House and Senate. He recognizes that our policies foster human flourishing, stimulate the U.S. economy, and align with his interests in innovation and job creation.”
“The policies of the opposing side do not promote such progress. I believe that once the dust settles, he will come to realize that it is imperative for us to maintain our majority in the House during the 2026 mid-term elections. This is essential if we hope to grant President Trump a complete four-year term, rather than merely two.”
