US House Speaker Vote Live | US House Votes On Speaker Bid Of GOP Nominee Mike Johnson | N18L Rep. Mike Johnson, the fourth Republican to be nominated, was elected speaker today. House Republicans chose Johnson, a low-ranking member of the GOP leadership team, as the speaker-designate Tuesday night. He is the party’s fourth nominee for the job since Kevin McCarthy was ousted as speaker three weeks ago. On Tuesday morning, Republicans selected Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., as their nominee for speaker only to see him drop out that afternoon, unable to get the 217 votes needed to win the speaker’s gavel in the full House. There are just 221 Republicans in the House, leaving very little wiggle room for a nominee to win the top job. #mikejohnson #usspeaker #republican #englishnewslive n18oc_world
