YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSpeaker of the House Mike Johnson won reelection in the congressional race in Louisiana.
Speaking at his victory party in Shreveport, Rep. Johnson thanked his supporters and told them he will continue to bring Louisiana values to Washington, D.C.
"We believe in the founding principles of the country. We believe in the ideas of faith and family and freedom and we're trying to live that out every day, and it's not always welcomed in the nation's capital, but it's very important for us to do that," Johnson said.
The speaker said he would be traveling to Mar-a-Lago later to join the Trump watch party and said he's optimistic for the GOP.
"I think at the end of the night when they tabulate all this, I am very hopeful that we're going to have not only a larger majority in the House to make my job easier, but we retake the Senate and the White House as well. I think that's what's going to happen," Johnson said.
