- If he remains speaker, Johnson says he will change House rules to make congressional procedures run more smoothly.
I pray for God's will. And I believe God's will is for us — and not the communists — to be in charge of America. And it does say in the New Testament, you run the race to win. This is a biblical admonition. So we will.— Johnson said during a campaign stop in Bangor, Maine, in an interview with The Associated Press.
