Speaker-elect Mike Johnson wins his bid to retain the House speaker's gavel without a vote to spare.

The Louisiana Republican won the vote on the first day of the 119th Congress .

The vote underscored the president-elect’s hold over the Republican Party and the challenge he faces keeping it together over the next two years ahead of the 2026 midterms.

President-elect Donald Trump helped secure Johnson 's election as speaker of the House .

Out of three lawmakers who opposed Johnson on the floor, only Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky had informed leadership he would oppose the speaker.

Trump and Johnson clashed over the spending bill in December , but quickly realized they needed to help squeeze the rest of the GOP conference.
