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.

Doesn’t Donalds have a criminal record?
Lol...last RINO speaker designee from Louisiana was Bob Livingston.
What about the other votes? Were they hardliners who will refuse to vote for anyone but a rino?
He be right
He may it not support it, and we have no numbers, but there’s going to be some money for Ukraine
Both sides of the Senate aisle are all in on that and the Potato in Chief will Veto anything and everything without it
jmho
A very young Donalds!
Expunged!
You were perfect in your teens?😵
Just elect Hakeem Jeffries! You stupid republicans have proven you can’t govern from Gary’s on down you’re a bunch of idiots! Just give this country over to the godless rats!
There’s that word!
A word only the repubs seem to know .. Compromise!🥱
Big improvement over McCarthy“
Well that is definitely an overstatement. A marginal improvement at best. Definitely better than Emmer. Not a true conservative. The reality is the 23 rino’s aren’t going to allow an actual conservative. Where he is on the Ukraine money laundering is the benchmark
If that is true than he may be ok
Our contestant on the muppet show is…..
Who do you want as speaker?
“Thoughts?”
Johnson is a small guy with a big voice. He seems to be a leader, from his appearances in committee hearings.
I’m sure he has a bit of establishment in his makeup, but how many in DC don’t?
He is definitely one of the few good guys. We dodged a bullet today. Hopefully, he gets the assignment
I want Donald’s Byron would be a good speaker!!
Wasn’t it over like, a few hundred dollars?
Even wiki doesn’t have any details
I could live with him as speaker.
I LIKE this guy! We could/have done far worse.
I hope he gets it. One of the good guys. NOT a RINO as someone said.
Has he been turned/bought?
