House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced on Tuesday that the Republican Party is currently undergoing a “course-correction” following the removal of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

During an interview with NBC News’ Scott Wong, Johnson explained, “We encountered a bit of a setback with some Hispanic and Latino voters due to perceptions of overly aggressive immigration enforcement.”

He further elaborated, “We are actively working on adjusting our approach. A new Secretary of Homeland Security will be appointed soon.”

“He’s a thoughtful guy. He’ll bring a thoughtful approach,” he added.
