"You're going to see a new form of government." - Mike Johnson [View all]
WASHINGTON — U.S. House Republicans late Tuesday voted to tap Louisiana’s Mike Johnson as speaker after the GOP nominee from earlier in the day was tanked. Johnson, 51, is the fourth Republican nominee attempting to break the deadlock in the lower chamber that has been leaderless and frozen for three weeks. He is the second to hail from Louisiana.
“Democracy is messy sometimes,” Johnson said at a jubilant press conference following his victory. “We’re going to serve the people of this country. You’re going to see a new form of government.”
Republicans in the room cheered his name, “Mike, Mike, Mike,” as they gathered behind him in a show of unity.
