Representative Mike Johnson (R-LA 4th District) has been named the GOP Speaker-Designate.
The announcement came after a closed-door meeting among House Republicans, where Johnson emerged as the consensus candidate.
.... Snip....
During the final round, Johnson reportedly received 128 votes, with Rep. Byron Donalds getting 29. He is now the fourth Speaker Designate for the House.

Who is Rep. Mike Johnson?
According to Social Media Strategist Joey Mannarino, Mike Johnson boasts a Liberty Score of 74%. A representative from Louisiana, Johnson has been a member of Congress since 2017 and has a generally strong voting record.
He played a key role in initiating the Texas Amicus Brief in 2020 and voted against the certification of the 2020 election results, which he viewed as fraudulent. Johnson has been selective in supporting funding for Ukraine, only voting in favor of the initial funding bill.
A strong advocate for national security, Johnson backed Trump’s travel ban on countries considered to be hotbeds of terrorism. He also served on Trump’s legal defense team during both the 2019 and 2020 Senate impeachment trials.
What is his record?
Is this the latest or from earlier this evening? I still prefer Byron Donalds.
I’m guessing they found a squish that they’re going to need to shake Zelensky’s hand and maybe get that spirit cooking woman to kiss.
Yes, does he support aid to Ukraine?
I’d be happy with Johnson. A good compromise.
From the article looks like a good pick.
Would have preferred Byron Donald, but that wasn't happening.
YES!
Big improvement over McCarthy. Hope he gets 100% support from all the Republicans.
Not too familiar but he appears on first impression a step up from Emmer.
They, of course have their hopes now on Mike Johnson.
It came down to Johnson, (RINO) and a true conservative Byron Donalds!
These B@$$-Turds could have really done a great thing by nominating Donalds.
100% conservative and the First Black speaker of the house!
That would be huge!
I don’t find being black as important as being a true conservative but apparently America does.
Look how everyone reacted to Hakeem(?) Jeffries(?) election as head of the Senate!
N-o-o-o, we can’t have a true conservative running the house!
Must be someone who will “Reach Across The Aisle!”
These people do their dirty business behind closed and locked closed doors!
Does that tell you anything?

Mediocre Moderate Squishie.
Who? Who? said the wise old owl.
Check back in about 12 hours, to see if the kaleidoscope of Speaker nominees has continued to turn.
Johnson believes the election was stolen and that Biden is a Usurper.
Continuing resolutions. What if RINOs don’t get greased and voters who don’t understand that the House controls the budget have to feel the pain of the “Biden budget” as they go to the polls?
Everything is fine. Plan coming together. /Cough
