Speaker Johnson: Midterm GOP Convention a ‘Done Deal’

A Republican Party midterm convention, which President Donald Trump floated last week, is likely a “done deal,” House Speaker Mike Johnson told members of the press on Wednesday.

“The president called me when I was on the road, maybe a week ago or whenever this made news in the morning,” the Louisiana Republican said during his press briefing. “He said, ‘Mike, I got a great idea … how about a midterm convention?'”

And that idea, Johnson said, is “genius.”
