OPINION:
With President-elect Donald Trump’s stamp of approval, let us hope that all House Republicans vote to reelect current House Speaker Mike Johnson (“Trump urges Republicans to rally behind Mike Johnson as speaker,” web, Dec. 30).
We have no time to waste.
Our elected representatives need to put their petty differences aside and rally around Mr. Trump’s endorsement so that the election can be certified on Jan. 6. With that, Mr. Trump can begin his “America First” agenda on day one — Jan. 20. That is what “We the People” voted for.
Our elected representatives are supposed to represent the interests of their constituents, not themselves. If they don’t, we have the right to vote them out of office when their terms are up. They need to respect Mr. Trump’s choice and quickly get to work.
