Speaker of the House Michael Johnson says the Republican Party intends to continue its momentum in the final days of the 2024 electionsand the party seeks to obtain “very good” results in the disputed districts.
The Republican Party seeks to regain control of both the White House and the Senate while increasing its majority in the House of Representatives. Johnson said the Republican Party is “very optimistic” in the twilight hours of this election cycle and has been traveling “non-stop” leading up to Election Day.
“And I’m going to the Democratic states, the swing districts and the places where Republicans aren’t traditionally expected to do well, we’re going to do well,” Johnson said on the Fox News show. Sunday Fox and Friends. “There will be a demographic shift and record numbers of Hispanic and Latino voters, black and African-American voters, Jewish voters, union workers — there’s an energy out there that’s hard to really articulate, but it’s palpable.”
Johnson also reprimanded the vice president Kamala Harris and the “desperate” and “very irresponsible” comparisons of his campaign with the former president donald trump to Adolf Hitler before the elections, in which there have already been two assassination attempts on Trump.

The speaker argued that Harris is using her platform to “raise the temperature” in the political sphere, and he and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have asked him to withdraw his comparisons.
The GOP’s goal of winning the presidency and the Senate comes after it experienced a poor showing in the 2022 midterm elections, in which the party only won a slim majority in the House and fell short of a majority in the Senate. Ahead of the 2024 elections, polling data has indicated that Harris only has a 1 percentage point lead over Trump among independent votersa much smaller lead than the 13 percentage point lead President Joe Biden had before suspending his re-election bid in July.
