Mike Johnson Retains Speaker's Gavel on First Ballot as Republicans Formally Take Hold of Congress
Alegeri prezidențiale SUA
Louisiana’s Mike Johnson has retained the speaker's gavel, with House Republicans backing him to lead the caucus after a dramatic first round of votes. The result comes in the wake of intense speculation over Johnson's standing with the caucus, particularly given Republicans' razor-thin majority in the lower chamber. Johnson needed support from 218 of 219 House Republicans, and Rep. Thomas Massie (R., Ky.) announced he would not back the incumbent speaker ahead of the Friday afternoon vote.
