It\u2019s become a running joke among some Republican members: Speaker Mike Johnson has had to rely on President Donald Trump so much, Trump is actually the one running the House.<\/p>\n

Trump is in on the joke too.<\/p>\n

In at least one meeting with Johnson and a handful of other lawmakers, Trump teased Johnson over how much the speaker has had to lean on the president to get members in line, three sources told NOTUS.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have two jobs: being president and being speaker,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s more than just a joke. Time and again, Johnson has summoned Trump to cajole members into supporting Republicans\u2019 agenda. Johnson can lose only two Republican votes on any partisan legislation, and the disparate factions of his caucus are often diametrically opposed to each other. That\u2019s usually when Johnson gets Trump to make phone calls to holdouts and the president berates them until they do what he wants.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s the one getting everyone in line,\u201d one House Republican said of Trump.<\/p>\n

Occasionally, Trump\u2019s whip efforts have played out in real time on the House floor in full view of everyone.<\/p>\n

Last year as Republicans were attempting to pass a measure for their reconciliation bill, Trump was on the phone with the GOP holdouts whose names were lit up on the board above the press gallery as having voted \u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Indiana) was handed a phone with Trump on the other end of the line in the cloakroom off the House floor. Two sources described Spartz as trying to talk while noticeably crying during the call. After they were done and she left the cloakroom, Trump, who was on speakerphone, said: \u201cI have no fucking idea what she just said.\u201d (A spokesperson for Spartz disputed the account as \u201cincorrect\u201d but said she does not share her private conversations.) <\/p>\n

When Johnson was trying to hold onto the gavel in January last year, Trump actively called the members who had voted against the speaker and convinced them to flip their votes.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not just winning votes. At times, Johnson has handed over other powers that usually rest with the speaker.<\/p>\n

According to two sources who spoke with NOTUS, Johnson has in several instances directed members seeking to bring legislation to the floor to obtain the administration\u2019s approval first.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a total shirking of responsibilities to the White House,\u201d another House Republican told NOTUS. \u201cEverything has to be preordained and pre-blessed, and there\u2019s very little that we\u2019re able to have our own will on. We should be empowered to pass our own priorities, not just follow what the mandate of the day is.\u201d<\/p>\n

A senior GOP aide pushed back on the idea that relying on the president is a bad thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that the President has to sign the bills that Congress passes for them to become law, it stands to reason that the White House would have input into and help pass the legislative agenda that Republican House Members and the President ran on and that 77.3 million Americans voted for,\u201d the aide said.<\/p>\n

Despite their many complaints, members did point to a number of achievements in this Congress. From a sweeping reconciliation bill to crypto legislation and rescission packages, members and the administration hailed the accomplishments Johnson and the White House were able to see through.<\/p>\n

\u201cUltimately the speaker is the speaker, and he\u2019s done a phenomenal job with the narrowest majority in nearly a century in the House,\u201d a senior White House official told NOTUS. \u201cHe\u2019s got an extraordinary relationship with the administration. He\u2019s trusted, he\u2019s authoritative, and I think the president\u2019s spoken publicly any number of times about how much he appreciates and admires the speaker. So, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything unusual about close collaboration when the majority is this tight.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Johnson said in a statement that while \u201cthere is always a healthy tension between the legislative and executive branches in our constitutional structure, the point of unified government is that voters expect the party in charge to work efficiently and effectively together to solve the nation\u2019s problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSpeaker Johnson is proud to have a strong and productive working relationship with the President that has delivered countless positive legislative results for the American people, in spite of the razor-thin margin of the House majority \u2014 including lower taxes, secure borders, reduced crime, a return to American energy dominance, massive reductions in burdensome regulations, fraud, waste and abuse, and so much more,\u201d the spokesperson continued. <\/p>\n

However, the level of influence the administration holds over day-to-day decision-making in the House has baffled longtime members.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my adult lifetime, I have not seen an executive branch with as much input and influence over the chamber than this one has,\u201d Rep. Steve Womack (R-Arkansas), who\u2019s a loyal Republican vote, said.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Members do recognize that Johnson is limited in his ability to win over holdouts because of the conference\u2019s slim majority. Moreover, the Republican Conference is filled with members who are perfectly fine holding up the GOP agenda, so Johnson\u2019s hands are often tied.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe speaker is limited in his ability to create consensus among the rank and file,\u201d Womack added. \u201cAnd because it doesn\u2019t take but one or two, there\u2019s always one or two. I know the speaker would like for the House to probably be more of a chamber that works its will and doesn\u2019t require the executive branch to have to help get things finished, but you know, it\u2019s just where we are right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

The senior White House official told NOTUS that the administration is so involved is because there\u2019s really no room for error. They added that \u201cbecause you have different factions and different problems in each and every legislative situation,\u201d there isn\u2019t room for them to work any differently.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to solve all of the problems, every vote, every single time, with virtually every member,\u201d the official said.<\/p>\n

Many lawmakers believe a small group of hard-line conservatives hold too much power over Johnson \u2014 threatening to withhold their votes without significant concessions that he often gives in to.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose that have been willing to hold up the floor for their own whims are getting their way every day,\u201d the House Republican member added. \u201cAnd it\u2019s wearing on the rank and file, the people that show up to do the right thing and believe in teamwork rather than individualism.\u201d<\/p>\n

The senior White House official concurred, saying that the \u201cfrustrations from the more moderate and team playing members are certainly shared within the administration.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because Johnson relies on Trump to get things done, members believe that Johnson has simply gone along with whatever Trump wants rather than push for what his own conference might want. This Congress, Johnson has worked to kill bills from coming to the floor that could prove critical of Trump, even if his own members support the legislation. This includes resolutions that disapprove of the administration\u2019s tariffs and conflicts abroad. <\/p>\n

While at times he\u2019s shown willingness to push back on behalf of his conference, most recently with the so-called<\/u><\/span> \u201canti-weaponization\u201d fund, members believe those instances are few and far between.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Johnson\u2019s efforts to stifle those votes has led to rebellion from his party at times. Republicans have signed onto multiple Democratic-led discharge petitions, allowing them to gain enough signatures to get on the floor. GOP leadership has resorted to pulling resolutions at the last minute because they didn\u2019t have the votes to kill them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe speaker has felt like, since they\u2019re from the same party, there\u2019s not a need for checks and balances. I disagree,\u201d retiring Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon said. \u201cI think we could have provided more feedback on tariffs, Ukraine, and other things, like the ballroom.\u201d<\/p>\n

California Rep. Kevin Kiley, an Independent who caucuses with Republicans, also said he believes Congress needs to reclaim its \u201cconstitutional authority\u201d from the administration. But there\u2019s been little evidence of any appetite to do so, from Johnson on down. And members who do stand up to Trump have found themselves on the losing end of primary challenges.<\/p>\n

The White House official pushed back on this narrative, calling it a long-standing \u201ccanard\u201d that if Republicans back the administration, it means they aren\u2019t fulfilling their constitutional authority of providing checks and balances.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWhat the media means when they say this stuff is they mean that upholding your constitutional authority is opposing the administration. That\u2019s just not what it is,\u201d the official said. \u201cAnd most Republicans, in fact 99.99% of Republicans, see through that and vote where their long-standing policy positions are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abigail Johnson, a White House spokesperson, described the relationship between Trump and Johnson as \u201cgreat\u201d and said that Trump \u201chas enjoyed working closely with him to advance the America First agenda he was elected to enact, including the largest tax cut for working Americans in history. The entire White House looks forward to maintaining this positive relationship and delivering more wins for the American people.\u201d<\/p>\n

But while members have plenty of complaints, they also don\u2019t know who could do any better, given the current makeup of the conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople who want to criticize Mike have a very limited understanding of how complicated it is to manage the House,\u201d Rep. Dusty Johnson (R-South Dakota) said. \u201cI can\u2019t imagine anybody who\u2019d be doing a better job right now. It\u2019s not always pretty, there\u2019s plenty of broken china along the way, but ultimately he\u2019s delivered victories with a much greater frequency than people have expected.\u201d<\/p>\n

House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole (R-Oklahoma) agreed, saying he believes Johnson has run this Congress \u201cas well as anybody can.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating,\u201d he said. \u201cBut it\u2019s frustrating to everybody. Any time the majorities are this small, you empower the fringe groups, no matter which party happens to be in power. And we have a lot of people here that use it, that exploit the rules rather than follow them.\u201d<\/p>\n
