💨 Abstract

Mike Johnson was re-elected as US House Speaker in a close race after two opponents switched their votes, securing 218 votes. Johnson's re-election was facilitated by key Republican opponents flipping their votes back to him at the last minute. Donald Trump is reported to have convinced the opposition representatives to vote for Johnson. Johnson, from Louisiana, became the 56th Speaker of the House in 2023.
