Republicans elected Rep. Mike Johnson to serve as the 56th speaker of the House after three weeks of the lower chamber sitting at a standstill and unable to complete any legislative business.
Immediately after the vote was called, Republicans conducted a closed-door roll call to see whether enough members would support Johnson's nomination on the floor. During that vote, nearly all present members said they would back his nomination, while three Republicans, Reps. French Hill , Mark Amodei , and Thomas Massie , voted present.
"This House Republican majority is united," Johnson said after receiving the nomination."I'm honored to have the support of my colleagues, and what they understand about this is this is servant leadership. We're going to serve the people of this country. We're going to restore their faith in this conference and this institution of government."
