Mike Johnson's wife makes candid admission about him becoming Speaker: 'We were not prepared'

In a revealing joint appearance on The Katie Miller Podcast, Mike Johnson admitted that life has become “completely different” since he was unexpectedly elected United States House of Representatives Speaker.

“My life is not normal right now,” he said, describing the role as a 24/7 “all-encompassing” workload.

His wife, Kelly Johnson, echoed the sentiment, candidly admitting they “never fully realised” what they were taking on, no downtime, constant security, and even daily routines disrupted by motorcades and crisis calls.
