Following the election of Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) as House speaker, Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Speaker-Elect Johnson spoke to the chamber. Speaker-Elect Johnson was then sworn-in by the dean of the House, Rep. Hal Rogers (R-KY). The House had been without a speaker since October 3, when former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted after failing to get enough votes to retain his leadership position. In that vote, eight Republicans and all Democrats voted in favor of the motion to vacate the chair, the first time in House history members had voted to remove the speaker. Following that vote, Republicans repeatedly struggled to find a speaker nominee who could win the number of votes required for a majority without Democratic votes. close
