After 22 days, multiple candidacies, and much tumult, the United States House of Representatives at long last elected a speaker on October 25.
Rep. Mike Johnson is a good man, a good choice, and will be a good speaker—and Americans can have confidence that the Republican House majority has the leadership that it needs.The qualities and record of the new speaker have been much discussed in media, and I will not belabor them here except to note that in my own work in Washington, D.C., both in the Trump White House and in the policy world, I have found Rep. Johnson to be consistently principled and indefatigably optimistic.
So here's a counter-narrative on the speaker race, which I propose not because it's a novel interpretation, but because I believe it is the core truth of the episode: there were real issues at stake, and the process took so long because the gravity and inevitability of those issues required exceptional discernment, deliberation, and debate.
