U.S. Rep. Mike Johnson, R-LA, speaks to reporters after securing the nomination for House speaker from the Republican conference on Capitol Hill in Washington on Oct. 24, 2023.WASHINGTON — Texas Republicans rallied together to elect Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana to be U.S. House Speaker on Wednesday, ending a tumultuous three weeks that highlighted the divisions within the Republican conference.
Winning the support of the entire Texas Republican delegation reflected his popularity within the ideologically diverse Republican conference. House Republicans burned through three speaker-nominees, each incapable of securing the full party’s support, before electing Johnson. Johnson’s victory benefited from his relatively muted stature within Congress. Other candidates for the job, including Scalise, Emmer and House Freedom Caucus co-founder Jim Jordan, all had baggage from past conflicts with their peers. Most Republicans assert that McCarthy was ousted for personality reasons, particularly his nuclear animous with Florida’s Rep. Matt Gaetz.
“Mike's got the policy depth like no other,” Fallon said. “He's very good on television and at messaging. It's just part of the job now; it's not 1960. And he's 16 miles from Texas, which doesn't hurt either.”“House Republicans have put their name behind someone who has been called the most important architect of the Electoral College objections,” House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar of California said on the House floor while nominating Jeffries.
"What's relevant about something that happened three or four years ago?" Williams said."Let me tell you, in business and in life, you have to continue to look forward, and we've got to look forward to 2024."Rep. Chip Roy, a deeply conservative Austin Republican who voted to certify the 2020 election, dismissed Johnson's actions over the election as a"reasonable disagreement.
