(Bloomberg) -- Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have nominated Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana to be their new speaker. The congressman is a strong supporter of former President Trump.
Johnson, 51, won his party's nomination late on the 24th with 128 votes. However, former Speaker McCarthy also received 43 votes. Congressman Weber (Texas) made the announcement.
The House of Representatives, without a speaker, has been dysfunctional since McCarthy was fired on the 3rd of this month, and the House has been unable to make any decisions, including emergency aid to Israel and Ukraine, and an agreement to avert the looming U.S. government shutdown on November 17th. , the deliberations are not progressing.
