Whirlwind in Washington results in Mike Johnson elected House speaker
SUMMARY: Congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana has been elected as House speaker with 220 votes, ending the leadership whirlwind in Washington, D.C. Republicans considered several options before settling on Johnson, who was able to reach the necessary threshold of votes. Fellow contenders Steve Scalise, Jim Jordan, and Tom Emmer were unsuccessful in their attempts to replace Kevin McCarthy. Although Democratic nominee Hakeem Jeffries received overwhelming support from his party, he did not earn enough Republican support to attain speakership. Johnson’s election now allows the U.S. to pass major legislation, including spending bills and financial aid for Ukraine and Israel.
