WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.) today met with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-La.) following Thune’s election to serve as Senate majority leader and Johnson’s nomination to serve as Speaker of the House in the 119th Congress.

Thune and Johnson released the following statements after the meeting:

“In order to enact President Trump’s agenda, it will take each and every Republican working together,” said Leader-elect Thune. “Speaker Johnson and I had a productive meeting today getting organized for the work ahead, and I look forward to our partnership as we reverse the Biden-Harris agenda and advance President Trump’s priorities on behalf of the American people.”

“Leader Thune and I are ready to hit the ground running and put America first in the 119th Congress,” said Speaker Johnson. “Congress has been given a clear mandate from the American people, and we look forward to working with President Trump to secure our borders, cut taxes, reduce inflation, slash bureaucratic red tape, restore America’s dominance, rebuild our military, and instill fear in our overseas enemies. America’s best days are ahead with Republicans in charge in 2025.”

  1. We haven’t heard anything as to who will be the new Ag. Secretary and I hope Senate Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson discussed this appointment. They still might have time to influence an appointment. Bobby Kennedy Jr. the new appointment at Health and Human Services has said plenty in criticism of Big Ag. and Big Food. We will need an Ag. Secretary who is a strong farmer, producer’s advocate with President Trump.

  2. Since President elect Trump is going off of loyalty verses qualifications will Rosanne Barr be our next AG Secretary? There will be a high position for her but which one?

    Will be looking forward to seeing the conformation process led by Majority Leader Senator John Thune and Speaker Johnson’s conformation of Rosanne Barr where ever that may be.
