Late Tuesday, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) became the fourth Republican pick for the post since the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) three weeks ago.
Join live coverage with Libby Casey as the House of Representatives attempts to elect its next speaker. Rep. Mike Johnson was elected speaker Wednesday by the full House on a first vote. Johnson, a relatively unknown, staunchly conservative Republican, succeeds Rep. Kevin McCarthy , whose ouster this month was led by hard-right members of the party. The House GOP previously picked three higher-profile nominees, none of whom could win over Republican holdouts and secure a majority vote.
Johnson, 51, an attorney and former radio host, is a close ally of former president Donald Trump. Johnson served on the former president’s legal defense team during his two impeachment trials in the Senate. He also contested the results of the 2020 election.
