'We'll fight tooth and nail': House speaker Mike Johnson vows fight to win back Congress

US House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday (November 9) urged Republicans to regroup after disappointing election results, saying the party must "get right back up" after being "knocked down" by voters. "The people have spoken," Johnson told reporters, acknowledging that Republicans fell short of their goals despite an extensive campaign effort in which he said he raised more than $500 million and traveled enough miles "to circle the globe over nine times." Mike Johnson also announced he will not run for House minority leader following the Republican party's midterm election losses, which handed control of Congress to Democrats.
