YOUTUBE (The Hill) - Watch live: Johnson, HUD secretary give remarks on National Day of Prayer
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner are slated to give remarks Thursday morning as part of the National Day of Prayer. While Johnson has flexed his political muscle in recent weeks by notching a series of wins for Republicans in the House amid party infighting — including funding for the Department of Homeland Security and extending the government's foreign spying powers — he faces an uphill battle on other challenges, including pushing President Trump's legislative priorities over the finish line ahead of the midterm elections.
