Mike Johnson Nominated for Second Term as Speaker
News summary

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, has been unanimously nominated by his party to serve a second term as Speaker of the House, with full backing from President-elect Donald Trump. The nomination comes amid a narrow Republican majority in the House, with the GOP having secured at least 218 seats. Johnson will need to secure 218 votes in the formal speaker election in January to maintain his role. His priorities include border security, tax reform, and increased school choice, aligning with his mandate for a secure and economically stable country. The GOP's slim majority means Johnson must work to maintain party unity, avoiding the challenges faced by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The new Congress faces significant legislative hurdles, including potential government shutdowns and the need to extend debt ceilings and farm bill authorizations.
