Republicans elect Mike Johnson as 56th speaker of the House

Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana has been elected as the 56th speaker of the House of Representatives, ending a period of political chaos and division within the Republican Party. Johnson, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, was chosen after weeks of infighting. Despite being the least experienced speaker in the post-Civil War era, Johnson is expected to lead the party through critical issues such as potential government shutdowns and negotiations over the 2024 budget.
