The GOP congressman targeted by Gaetz was wooed by Johnson

How Johnson wooed Trump to back a GOP congressman targeted by Rep. Matt Gaetz. Johnson and his top lieutenants went to Mar-a-Lago to secure endorsement for incumbent House Republican. Johnson: "I'm not going to back him, I'm not backing him. I'm backing him"

Speaker Mike Johnson was planning to endorse Rep. Matt Rosendale for Senate but reversed course after being discouraged by fellow Republicans, sources say. Johnson was set to endorse Republican Rep. Rosendale, who is a Democrat, for Senate seat in the state. Johnson's endorsement of Rosendale was met with blowback from fellow Republicans.
