Republicans have at long last elected a House speaker: Representative Mike Johnson, a fundamentalist Christian who was also once called a key “architect” in Congress’s efforts to overthrow the 2020 election.
Johnson finally secured the speaker’s gavel after Republican infighting left the House without a speaker for 22 days. He secured 220 votes.
Johnson is a four-term congressman representing Louisiana. His win also represents the rise of the MAGA front in the Republican Party. Earlier Wednesday morning, Donald Trump endorsed Johnson as House speaker—after quickly killing Mike Emmer’s nomination the day before.
I agree that we’re trying to say the same thing but the other person who commented is trying to make it an indexing problem so I apologize:
When you’re the president, you are the president. You are not in the line of succession. You are not 0th or 1st in line to be president because you aren’t in the queue.
When you are riding a rollercoaster, you aren’t first in line to ride the rollercoaster. You’re not in line. The person who didn’t make it on the ride is first in line
