MAGA House Republican Leadership Starts the New Year by Endorsing Donald Trump – Will Mike Lawler Join Them?

To kick off 2024, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Majority Whip Tom Emmer announced that they are endorsing Donald Trump, following in the footsteps of their boss, Speaker Mike Johnson, who is “all in” for the disgraced former president.

MAGA House Republican leadership’s endorsement of the defeated former president coincides with Trump’s proclamation that he’ll make a “heavy play” in New York.

Will vulnerable New York Republican Mike Lawler fall in line with the party’s MAGA leadership and endorse Trump? 

Mike Lawler and the rest of House Republican leadership are making no effort whatsoever to hide their support for far-right extremism and voters will hold them accountable this November.

DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Instead of a New Year’s resolution to help working families, Scalise and Emmer got right back to work propping up MAGA extremists. Mike Lawler will no doubt join his party’s leadership in their spineless MAGA fealty, proving once again that the entire Republican conference is 100% with Trump’s MAGA extremism. Voters have repeatedly rejected this extremism at the polls – and will do so again in 10 months.”
