Johnson's re-election as president of the US House of Representatives

According to Mehr news agency, quoted by Reuters news agency, in addition to the victory of Donald Trump, the candidate of the Republican Party, the 2024 US presidential election was accompanied by the decisive victory of the Republicans in the Senate and the House of Representatives. This means that Congress and the White House are now in the hands of this party.

Accordingly, at the same time as the new House of Representatives began its work, a vote was held to elect the president of this House, during which Mike Johnson, the candidate of the Republican Party who also had the support of Donald Trump, finally succeeded in holding this position.

In this process, Johnson succeeded in lobbying his opponents to finally get their votes and take the helm of the House of Representatives. In the end, he was able to be elected to this position again with 218 votes.

According to the US Constitution, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives is in the third place of political importance after the President and his Vice-President, and if there is a problem for these two people, he will take over the executive steering of the country.
