U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has laid out his vision for the House and legislative goals, but he faces the daunting task of reuniting a divided party in a slim majority and funding the government before the partial shutdown deadline in the middle of November.
Before the vote to elect Johnson as speaker on Wednesday, Johnson sent a memo to his fellow Republicans asking for their support and promising an "Ambitious" legislative agenda.
"Tlaib led a pro-Hamas insurrection into the Capitol complex, has repeatedly displayed her anti-Semitic beliefs, and shown her hatred for Israel," Green wrote on X. "She must be held accountable and censured." After his election as speaker, Republicans were quick to praise Johnson , who received unanimous Republican support, after he received the speakership.
"House Speaker Mike Johnson is a proven conservative who is honorable, smart, and will do a great job leading the House Republican Conference," Ways and Means Committee Chairman Jason Smith, R-Mo., said in a statement.
"I'm excited to work hand-in-hand with Speaker Johnson to advance the policies we need to secure our southern border, increase support for Israel, and bring relief to working-class Americans who are struggling to get by in President Joe Biden's economy." Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., was one of the handful of Republicans who voted to oust former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., which kicked off more than three weeks of scrambling to find a new speaker.
" Trump, who was actively campaigning for and against different speaker nominees, congratulated Johnson when talking to reporters, saying "he will be a great speaker of the House.
" Johnson promised an array of accomplishments upon taking the speakership, but whether he can succeed in the divided House remains to be seen.
