- (ASSOCIATED PRESS) Republicans unanimously elected Rep. Mike Johnson as House speaker on Wednesday, eagerly elevating a deeply conservative but lesser-known leader to the major seat of U.S. power and ending for now the weeks of political chaos in their majority.
Johnson, 51, of Louisiana, swept through on the first ballot with support from all Republicans anxious to put the past weeks of tumult behind and get on with the business of governing. He was quickly sworn into office, second in line to the presidency.
The people’s House is back in business,” Johnson declared after taking the gavel.
A lower-ranked member of the House GOP leadership team, Johnson emerged as the fourth Republican nominee in what had become an almost absurd cycle of political infighting since Kevin McCarthy's ouster as GOP factions jockeyed for power. While not the party's top choice for the gavel, the deeply religious and even-keeled Johnson has few foes and an important GOP backer: Donald Trump.
“I think he’s gonna be a fantastic speaker,” Trump said Wednesday at the New York courthouse where the former president, who is now the Republican front-runner for president in 2024, is on trial over a lawsuit alleging business fraud.

He's In Trump's Pocket
Good
I'm in ur pocket
@@CrunchWrpSUPREMEYou’re in your own pocket.
Good
Better than being a bidens pocket
He might turn out to be a pretty good new speaker
This guy sounds good. The democrates not standing for key american points makes me feel that the democratrs are and never will be for AMERICA.
Never have been. Every issue they have been behind have been anti-american. Their founding platform included keeping and expanding slavery.
Both parties amount to marionettes. Wake up!
Well, hes no Jim Jordan but at least he's not a Commie.
He IS a Gym Johnson in a jacket and tie, also a trump puppet
@@Duckster183 A puppeteer is one who controls puppets. Are you suggesting he controls Trump?
Sounds to me like the tail wagging the dog.
The truth will come out about jordan.
In God We Trust
Now stop all funding of any wars, and take care of American citizens.
Mike Johnson is a great choice!
First take care of social security no cuts to social security
That's trump can we get somebody else please
No more money for Ukraine and students loans
So if he defended Trump?...
Hunting caribou is not illegal
FUNDING NOT FINDING
The fact Republicans removed a Republican for in the slightest bit working towards bipartisan agreement on things. Shows how unserious a party they are
Shows how unserious you are about being intelligent. He agreed to things and violated that agreement. We all know democrats have no principles and will do whatever is best for themselves. But there are enough Republicans that don't sell out to force Congress to do the right thing.
Not at all - this is a move against the Uniparty, which was happy with a $1.5 trillion deficit.
@@saltburner2 trump deficit? Lol
@@saltburner2 y'all never have a problem spending when In office weird
@@saltburner2 you guys are cool with that deficit... Trump is a huge reason for the debt. His tax cuts didn't help at all. A middle-class tax cuts sunset next summer and they won't get re-upped because we cannot afford the tax cuts. Couldn't afford them 4 years ago when he gave corps a 15% tax decrease.... Wynn like giving corporations tax decreases incentivizes them not to spend more money inside their business. You can write off operating expenses. But why write anything off or spend money on your business if taxes are low... Then began the price gougeing and labor cuts. Y'all are so funny to
No tax cuts for social security
Good news all human
Your attempt at portraying him in a bad light failed. Failed miserably. Try your hand at UNBIASED reporting in the future.
You don't like facts?
@@BeakyFloof you really enjoy democrat propoganda. I bet you believe a lot of it
@@DannyKatz-cy4ku - So, you really don't like facts. What did they say that wasn't true, then?
@@BeakyFloof
🤣 Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Over the next 12 months, You're about to get WHACKED BY FAR MORE FACTS THAN YOU EVER CONSIDERED!..
Hopefully not a RINO
Specially when finding countries so close to Russia and a former country in THE SOVIET UNION
GOVERNMENT, CHURCH, RELIGION & STATE SHOULD ALL BE DIVIDED IN POLITICS.
You said what 😂😂😂😂
Read what you typed again 😅
Love it!! The liberal media and the station says I’m against!! Bring on the Maga!!
Oh boy this will be very interesting, but am sure very screwy!! SHALOM
Im betting nothing changes. The swamp will controll him by the end of the year. Once he 👀 the money hd can make, he'll get in line.
Traitor to the Constitution Johnson.
You ever read it?
Boo not a team player
We need strong leadership not sheep.
I thought the speaker had to be an American not a terrorist ?
Biden is so worried about other countries than America.
And Republicans only care about the rich
Yeah, no shid Sherlock
100 Billion dollars? To fight a war we should not be a part of...How about giving a couple of Billion to help the fire victims of Hawaii? Or even helping our homeless citizens? FJB ...
I am sure there are a 100,000 Americans that deserve a million dollars more than we need to keep Ukraine fighting Russia. Or a million Americans that could use 100,000 dollars to be better off. Or 10,000,000 million Americans that could change their life with 10,000 dollars. The amount of money they continue to piss away over there is boggling.
🎉❤😊awesome 👌 👏 👍
They scared of Jim Jordan and now we got another RINO
Gaetz would not support a RINO - that's why he got rid of the last Speaker.
Impeach the entire administration.
Uniparty wins again.
There is no "uniparty".
Boy ... Liberal media... What did he vote against? What did he vote for¿
He voted against the PACT act for veterans's expanded benefits and toxic exposure support. He's voted multiple times against funding the government to prevent a shutdown. After Louisiana passed an abortion ban, he stated anyone getting or giving one should be sentenced to hard labor for up to 10 years. He voted against the peaceful transfer of power by voting against verifying the last Presidential election. He spread the "election was stolen lie" and worked to keep the former President in power despite his losing the when. He supports cuts to SS and Medicare. He wants drastic cuts to all citizen support programs. He's a "christian nationalist" who wants to force his beliefs as law onto everyone else. That's a few, to start.
Those 3 votes aren’t a loss. I support them and him.
