Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key āarchitectā in Congressās efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speakerās gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speakerāafter quickly killing Mike Emmerās nomination the day before.
Republicans establishment hated trump during his 2016 run up and did whatever they could to not let him succeed. Not sure what you are on about.
During the run up. But once he became the nominee they all became team trump.
isnāt that pretty par for the course? you support your own side? democrats became team biden too, even though they hated him during the primaries.
