President Joe Biden has congratulated the new House speaker, though he also pointed out what his administration has been up to in the time it took Republicans to elect one.
With Democrats controlling the Senate and the White House, the House has been a thorn in the side of Biden thanks to its GOP majority. The president pledged to work with House Republicans nonetheless. Johnson won the gavel after surpassing the majority threshold needed to secure the gavel, beating House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries 220 to 209. Johnson was able to clinch the speakership on the first round of votes, unlike his predecessor, Rep. Kevin McCarthy , who went 15 rounds before becoming speaker in January.
"While House Republicans spent the last 22 days determining who would lead their conference, I have worked on those pressing issues, proposing a historic supplemental funding package that advances our bipartisan national security interests in Israel and Ukraine, secures our border, and invests in the American people," he said."These priorities have been endorsed by leaders in both parties.
