U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson of Shreveport was backed by President-elect Trump to retain the top job in Congress.

Mike Johnson said he is going to order that the Capitol's flags, which are at half-staff due to the death of Jimmy Carter, be raised for Donald Trump's inauguration.

Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who's sparred at times with party leadership, is reportedly no longer a member of a key House committee.
