In his acceptance speech, Johnson outlined a broad America First agenda matching President-elect Donald Trump's priorities, particularly focusing on immigration enforcement.
Johnson won on his first ballot, despite initial abstentions and alternative votes from a handful of hardline conservatives, demonstrating significant party unity.
'In coordination with President Trump, this Congress will give our border and immigration enforcement agents the resources that they need to do their job,' stated Speaker Mike Johnson.
The final tally saw Johnson winning on a 218-215 party-line vote, with only one dissent from the libertarian Rep. Thomas Massie.
