Mike Johnson Re-elected House Speaker with GOP Support

House Republicans have endorsed Mike Johnson (R-LA) to continue as Speaker, following strong support from President-elect Donald Trump. Johnson's re-election was unopposed in a closed-door vote, although he faces skepticism from some hard-line GOP members regarding his approach to government spending and foreign aid. The real challenge will come in January when he must secure a majority in a public vote of the full House. Johnson's leadership has been marked by his ability to unify a divided Republican caucus amid pressure from both conservative and moderate factions. Incoming representatives, like Riley Moore, emphasize the urgency for leadership to address pressing national issues. As the GOP prepares to govern under a Trump administration, Johnson's role will be crucial in navigating the party's agenda.
