Mike Johnson Speaker of the House vote live updates: Matt Gaetz makes bold prediction ahead of upcoming House speaker vote

“I think we get it done on the first round, I’m certainly hopeful for that, because, as we noted, we got to stick together,” he predicted Thursday on Fox Business.

House Democrats are not expected to bail Johnson out if he faces a rebellion from his own party, which has forced Louisiana Republican to lean on a recent endorsement from President-elect Donald Trump in an effort to shore up support.

“He’s the one that can win,” Trump said Monday in a Truth Social post.
