Mike Johnson was reelected as US House Speaker for the incoming Trump presidency in a lengthy vote that highlighted divisions among Republicans. Johnson initially fell short of the majority but won reelection with 218 votes. The vote tested the party's ability to hang together as it advances Trump's agenda and also tested Trump's clout on Capitol Hill. Johnson has sought to build a close relationship with Trump, who endorsed him on Monday. In addition to taking on Trump's legislative agenda, Johnson will have to address the nation's debt ceiling later this year.
