Speaker Mike Johnson will travel to California on September 30, 2026 to campaign and raise money for Republican candidates seeking seats in the U.S. House. The visit is intended to boost GOP hopefuls in a state that could influence which party controls the chamber during President Trump's final two years.
The trip comes as the 2026 midterm elections are expected to determine the majority in the House, making California a pivotal battleground for both parties.
Johnson's fundraising effort reflects the Republican focus on securing California seats to help shape the balance of power in Congress.
