Mike Johnson Secures House Speaker Role with Trump's Endorsement

Mike Johnson has secured the GOP nomination to remain House Speaker for a full two-year term, with strong backing from President-elect Donald Trump. Johnson, who initially replaced Kevin McCarthy, was elected unopposed and will need 218 votes in January to retain his position. Trump's endorsement is expected to solidify Johnson's support within the party. Other GOP leadership positions were also filled, with Steve Scalise and Tom Emmer retaining their roles, while Lisa McClain is set to replace Elise Stefanik as House Republican Conference Chair.
