Shortly after renegade Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) put out a statement defying Trump's call to make Johnson speaker, Spartz sent out a message on X that also poured cold water on the idea.
"I understand why President Trump is endorsing Speaker Johnson as he did Speaker Ryan, which is definitely important.

John McCain (R-AZ) to highlight the risk of pushing forward with Johnson.
