Boosted by President-elect Donald Trump, Rep. Mike Johnson on Friday narrowly won his first full two-year term as speaker of the House, beating back a tiny right-wing rebellion that ultimately caved.
Johnson, a Louisiana Republican and self-described “MAGA conservative,” secured the 218 votes he needed to be re-elected speaker on the first ballot. The Democratic leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, received 215 votes.
In the end, just one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., voted against Johnson.
