As the election results unfolded on Tuesday night and into Wednesday, Johnson\u2014who was once seen as a temporary leader\u2014said he was sure that House Republicans would keep their majority and choose him to stay as speaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working for a year \u2026 preparing this playbook that we\u2019ll talk about all the time for the next Congress. So if we\u2019re going to \u2026 run those plays and execute them with precision, you got to keep the quarterback on the field and keep the same team,\u201d Johnson said in an exclusive interview from his campaign headquarters.<\/p>\n

Johnson told his campaign team in his war room that he doesn\u2019t see a way that former President Trump could win the White House and the GOP lose the House.<\/p>\n

Early Wednesday morning, Trump was getting closer to getting the Electoral College votes he needed to get a second term. But Johnson said it was likely that any majority would stay small.<\/p>\n
