The Blaze: “Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will be hosting Olivia Hayes, the widow of Wesley Hayes, for President Donald Trump’s joint congressional address Tuesday, Blaze News has exclusively learned. Hayes’ husband was killed by an illegal immigrant in a drunk-driving accident in Louisiana, a tragedy that Johnson says is a reflection of former President Joe Biden’s disastrous open-border policy.”
Daily Caller: “Johnson will spotlight Republicans’ early wins reversing the Biden administration’s anti-energy policies during President Donald Trump’s joint address to Congress Tuesday evening. Johnson has invited an array of guests to the president’s address, including Commonwealth Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) chairman Ben Dell whose private equity firm has majority ownership in an energy infrastructure company overseeing an LNG facility in the speaker’s home state of Louisiana.”
New York Post: “Johnson, 52, is bringing Noa Argamani, who endured 246 days in Hamas captivity, to observe Trump’s speech to a joint session of both chambers Tuesday. ‘I am honored that Noa Argamani will be joining us at President Trump’s Joint Address to Congress,’ Johnson told The Post. ‘Despite experiencing the unimaginable in the hands of Hamas, Noa has demonstrated incredible strength and courage.’”
The Washington Times: “House Speaker Mike Johnson will have border czar Tom Homan as a guest for President Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress, a move that emphasizes his support of the White House’s border security agenda. Mr. Johnson, Louisiana Republican, lauded Mr. Homan in a statement provided first to The Washington Times, calling him an ‘ardent supporter’ of securing the nation’s borders.”
The Daily Wire: “Daily Wire hosts Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh will attend President Donald Trump’s address to a joint session of Congress on Tuesday night as guests of House Speaker Mike Johnson, who called the pair ’pillars of the conservative movement.’”
