WASHINGTON DC. - In a tense session on the first day of the 119th Congress, Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA) was re-elected as the Speaker of the House of Representatives. The vote initially appeared to be in jeopardy as three Republicans defected from Johnson. Still, in a dramatic turn of events, two of those holdouts, Representatives Ralph Norman and Keith Self, switched their votes at the last moment. This shift gave Johnson the necessary 218 votes to secure the position, with the final tally being 218-215, marking a narrow but significant victory. This re-election was particularly noteworthy given the slim Republican majority in the House, highlighting the internal party dynamics at play.
