Mike Johnson narrowly reelected House speaker on first ballot
- Mike Johnson was narrowly reelected as House Speaker on the first ballot with 216 votes, overcoming hard-right GOP holdouts after significant support from President-elect Donald Trump and last-minute vote changes from two Republicans.
- Johnson's victory was crucial as it avoided a potential constitutional crisis with Congress needing to count electoral votes soon.
- The vote highlighted divisions within the Republican Party, with all 215 Democrats supporting Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, while Johnson faced pressure over his handling of a recent spending bill.
- Johnson's win is seen as a significant boost for the Republican Party, which now controls both chambers of Congress and the White House, amid concerns over internal conflicts.
