Rep. David Kustoff, R-Tenn., touted new House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., as the "right guy at the right time," on Newsmax.
During a Wednesday appearance on "American Agenda," Kustoff said, "It's a narrow majority. But I think Mike Johnson, with his style, with his communication, and with his leadership, it's really kind of threading the needle with other Republican members, especially ... when you talk about curbing spending.
"So I think Speaker Johnson is the right guy at the right time to keep all the Republicans together to keep us focused."
Johnson won the speakership Wednesday in a vote of 220-209.
Following the vote, the newly elected speaker vowed that his first order of business would be a bill "in support of our dear friend Israel," according to Fox News.
