House Speaker Mike Johnson met with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence on President’s Day to discuss the 2024 election cycle.
“Speaker Johnson met with President Trump in Florida on Monday to discuss growing the majority and securing Republican victories up and down the ballot in November,” Johnson’s campaign spokesman Greg Steele told Fox News.
Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee Rep. Richard Hudson (R-North Carolina) was also present. Both Johnson and Hudson were in Florida for the House GOP leadership’s annual retreat.
Earlier this month, Johnson released a video calling on Republicans to support Trump.
“Following victories in Iowa, New Hampshire, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Nevada, it is time for Republicans to unite behind President Trump, so we can focus on ending the disastrous Biden presidency and growing our majority in Congress,” he said.

We’d been theorizing for a while what role Peter Dinklage would be playing in Avengers: Infinity War, with my pick being that he’d voice Black Order member Corvus Glaive. I was way off the mark with that one, of course, but I don’t mind being wrong given that who he did eventually play was so awesome.
I’m talking of course about casting him as Etri, the dwarf who forged both Thor’s former hammer Mjolnir and Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet. His scenes also had the pretty great gag of the dwarf being ten feet tall and towering over the rest of the characters. But how did they achieve that effect?
Making someone giant is a pretty old tactic for Hollywood, with everything from Attack of the 50 Foot Woman to the Lord of the Rings movies using various compositing and CGI tricks to make the effect plausible. Now,...
