Watch live: House expected to vote on Mike Johnson for Speaker
House Republicans are placing their bets on Louisiana Rep. Mike Johnson to be the chamber’s next leader, with an intention to elect him on the floor Wednesday afternoon.
House Republicans nominated Johnson for Speaker on Tuesday evening, making him the fourth GOP lawmaker to win the conference’s nod this cycle — and its second nominee within a day after House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) dropped out of the running amid GOP opposition.
The House is scheduled to convene at noon EDT.
