Mike Johnson reelected as House speaker after some GOP holdouts change votes

  Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson was reelected House speaker Friday on a first vote, overcoming skepticism about his leadership from some in his party. Johnson clinched the post after two lawmakers who initially voted against him changed their votes. President-elect Donald Trump endorsed Johnson this week and urged Republican lawmakers to back him, in part so that the party could move quickly to enact Trump’s agenda.
