The 119th Congress began today and the first order of businesses was electing the Speaker of the House. After winning over a handful of Republican holdouts, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R- LA) was elected by his colleagues to serve a 2nd term as Speaker.  

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R- LA) received the unofficial go-ahead from Republicans in a conference vote last fall. It remains to be seen if that support will carry Speaker Johnson over the finish line in Friday’s official vote on the House floor. 

WASHINGTON ,D.C. – Friday at noon, the new 119th Congress will begin. Republicans will have the majority in both the House and Senate. It will be a Republican trifecta in Washington when President-Elect Donald Trump returns to the White House.
