Republican Mike Johnson won reelection to the House speakership on a first ballot Friday, pushing past GOP hard-right holdouts and buoyed with a nod of support from President-elect Donald Trump.

NEWSMAX -- The new Congress was thrown into chaos on its first day Friday as some Republicans defied incoming president Donald Trump to block Mike Johnson from returning as House Speaker.

The Louisiana congressman, who was boosted by several messages of support from Trump, needed a simple majority to be elected as Washington's top legislator, who presides over House business and is second in line to the presidency.

The republican senators need to unite and always to have one goal. That goal is to support president Trump in his opinion for good achievement for common goal MAGA.

He has already went against the America first agenda and made negotiations with the Demorats. I hope he gets the right hat on and follows the will of the people.
