Скачать или смотреть Mike Johnson Elected House Speaker, Shifting GOP Further Right

Republicans installed little-known Trump ally Mike Johnson as US House speaker, cementing the party’s rightward shift and ending a messy three-week succession fight that paralyzed legislative work.

His election Wednesday culminates a historic struggle among GOP factions that ousted speaker Kevin McCarthy and derailed three potential successors. The bitter infighting prevented the House from acting on emergency aid for Israel and Ukraine, and on funding to avert a US government shutdown next month.

The 51-year-old Louisiana congressman’s elevation is a victory for cultural and economic conservatives as the party navigates tensions between an emerging populist wing aligned with Donald Trump and establishment Republicans.
