After three weeks of arguing and three failed Speaker candidates, House Republicans finally chose their leader, Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson.
After more than three weeks without a Speaker following the historic October 3 ousting of Congressman Kevin McCarthy, House Republicans finally came together to elect their new leader, choosing Congressman Mike Johnson as the 56th Speaker of the House.
Moreover, Johnson played a critical role in efforts to overturn the election, leading the amicus brief, signed by over 100 House Republicans, that supported a Texas lawsuit aiming to invalidate the election results in four swing states: Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.The Louisiana lawmaker also refused to offer his support for the bipartisan 47-day funding bill, a critical vote that ultimately sparked the conservative rebellion resulting in McCarthy's ousting.
