WASHINGTON (Gray DC) - House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will keep his job in the next Congress. The House Republican conference unanimously re-elected him to the top spot on Wednesday. President-elect Donald Trump endorsed Johnson saying he was “with him all the way.”

In January, Mike Johnson faces another vote to stay in the job that places him second in line for the presidency after Vice President-elect JD Vance.

While Mike Johnson has no serious challenger, he faces dissent within his ranks, particularly from hard-right conservatives and the Freedom Caucus.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's grace period, which members have likened to a honeymoon, is over, conservatives say.

Speaker Mike Johnson is beginning the hard fight for his gavel, a weeks-long campaign that starts Wednesday during internal House Republican leadership elections and will establish the new power centers in Congress for a Washington dominated by President-elect Donald Trump.

Representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana on Wednesday won the House Republican nomination to remain as House speaker. Johnson faces a full House vote in the new year, where he will need the support of a majority of the full House,
