Mike Johnson Elected as Speaker of the House
Johnson Becomes 56th Speaker, First Openly Trumpian
Washington, Oct 25 (Reuters)
Republican Representative Mike Johnson has been elected as the 56th Speaker of the US House of Representatives, becoming the first openly Trumpian speaker in the chamber's history.
In a closely contested race, Johnson emerged victorious after several rounds of voting. His election marks a significant shift in the Republican Party's leadership, as he is a vocal supporter of former President Donald Trump and his policies.
Johnson has pledged to continue the Trump agenda, including tax cuts, deregulation, and a focus on America First policies. He has also vowed to fight against the "radical left" and to protect traditional American values.
Johnson's election is expected to have a significant impact on the political landscape in Washington. He is likely to be a key ally of President Trump and his administration, and his leadership is likely to further polarize the House of Representatives.
