Haynes has worked in Johnson's office since 2017 and became chief of staff in October 2023, according to LegiStorm records. He was Johnson's campaign manager in 2016.
A Louisiana native, Haynes graduated from Louisana Tech University with a bachelor's degree in 2011, later earning a graduate degree from Gonzaga University in 2014.
In a statement obtained by Fox News Digital, Johnson's office said that the speaker still has "full faith and confidence" in Haynes' "ability to lead the Speaker's office."

"I'm sure it was received as well at home as it was there by the Republicans and the audience up in the gallery," Johnson said. "It was really shameful what the Democrats did. I mean, they really it was quite a spectacle. They brought shame on themselves and their party."
"But the American people are following what the president is delivering, and they are appreciating it."
