Mike Johnson becomes the new Speaker of the House in the US Congress
Republican Congressman Mike Johnson from Louisiana has been chosen as the new Speaker of the House. He is a four-term representative known for his Christian conservative values and support for Donald Trump's legal challenges to the 2020 presidential election.
