In a significant political event, the U.S. House of Representatives elected Mike Johnson as the new Speaker with a vote of 220 to 212. This election came after a period of uncertainty following the removal of Kevin McCarthy from the position. Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, secured the necessary support from his party to clinch the role. The vote tally reflects a clear division along party lines, with all Democrats voting against him. This election marks a pivotal moment as the House, now under Johnson’s leadership, aims to address pressing legislative issues including government funding, aid to Israel and Ukraine, and border security. The statistics highlight the narrow margin by which decisions are made in the current House, underscoring the importance of every vote.
