Mike Johnson wins speaker roleBoosted by President-elect Donald Trump, Rep. Mike Johnson on Friday narrowly won his first full two-year term as speaker of the House, beating back a tiny right-wing rebellion that ultimately caved.

Johnson, a Louisiana Republican and self-described “MAGA conservative,” secured the 218 votes he needed to be re-elected speaker on the first ballot. The Democratic leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, received 215 votes.

In the end, just one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted against Johnson.

With Johnson’s election, Republicans now officially control both chambers of Congress and they can begin to lay the groundwork for a second Trump administration and the ambitious legislative agenda that he has promised voters. Congress is slated to certify Trump’s election victory on Monday, Jan. 6, the fourth anniversary of the Capitol attack.
