"Mike Johnson Emerges as GOP's New Speaker Nominee Amid Leadership Crisis"

TL;DR Summary
Rep. Mike Johnson is set to take his fight for the speakership to the House floor amid uncertainty over whether he can secure the 217 votes needed to win the gavel. After a chaotic day that saw multiple nominees drop out, Johnson secured the nomination for the speakership. However, the GOP conference remains under pressure as the House remains paralyzed without a speaker, and it is unclear whether any candidate can win the gavel in the aftermath of Kevin McCarthy's ouster. Johnson can only afford to lose four votes on the floor, creating uncertainty over his chances.
