Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key āarchitectā in Congressās efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speakerās gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
