Republican Mike Johnson reelected House speaker after Trump endorsement
SUMMARY:
Republican Mike Johnson won reelection as House Speaker on the first ballot, despite opposition from hard-right GOP members. Supported by President-elect Trump, Johnson struggled to secure unanimous support within his own party, with some Republicans refusing to vote for him. His narrow victory highlights potential difficulties under the GOP’s unified control, as Johnson faces pressure to push Trump’s agenda, including tax cuts and deportations. The election’s significance increased due to the threat of a constitutional crisis if no Speaker was elected by January 6. Democrats rallied behind Hakeem Jeffries, emphasizing his experience and track record of compromise.
