WASHINGTON—The House GOP conference on Nov. 13 nominated Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) to remain as speaker of the House.
Meanwhile, Republicans are on the verge of retaining the House, just one seat shy of a majority, according to The Associated Press.
This would give the GOP control of the White House and both chambers of Congress, bolstering President-elect Donald Trump’s ability to implement his agenda.
The speaker ran unopposed and was endorsed by Trump, who attended the House GOP meeting on Nov. 13.
However, Johnson must win the majority of the full House to retain the gavel.
The vote is set for early January after the new Congress is sworn in….
