Mike Johnson elected House speaker with broad GOP support
Republican congressman Mike Johnson of Louisiana has been elected House speaker. Republicans eagerly voted to give Johnson the gavel on Wednesday. Johnson picked up an important nod of support ahead of the vote from Donald Trump.
You're viewing a single thread.
He got all 220 Republicans to vote for him.
I read another article that says this guy got the job because he has the fewest enemies willing to torpedo his candidacy in the Caucus.
Smart people, a lot of people, frankly are saying this guy got the job because he sucked Trump's dick.
So did Gymbo, and we see how that went.
Gymbo actually made me lol in a pub. Loved it
To paraphrase how someone some GOP Representative apparently described it:
"We have to find someone smart enough to get the votes and stupid enough to want the job".
So 90% Florida man, 10% Baptist preacher.
