In a dramatic turn of events, lawmakers have elected Mike Johnson as House speaker on the first ballot.
Key GOP detractors flipped their votes to back Johnson at the last minute, after the Louisiana Republican was initially on track to lose. He ultimately won with 218 votes.
While Johnson will keep the gavel, he’ll face a big challenge in Congress with the narrowest House majority in nearly 100 years.
