| − | '''James Michael Johnson''', known as '''Mike Johnson''' (born January 30, 1972), is the 56th [[Speaker]] of the [[United States House of Representatives]], having won the position in a 220-209 special vote on October 25, 2023. He succeeded fellow [[Republican Party|Republican]] [[Kevin McCarthy]] of [[California]], who was forced out of office earlier in the month by eight Republicans who called for a vote of no confidence in McCarthy. Johnson, who campaigned as a [[conservative]], has been since 2017 the [[U.S. Representative]] for [[Louisiana]]'s 4th congressional district, which encompasses [[Shreveport]], [[Bossier City]], and [[Minden, Louisiana|Minden]] and extends as far south as [[Natchitoches, Louisiana|Natchitoches]] and DeRidder in Beauregard Parish just north of [[Lake Charles]]. His record as Speaker, however, is nothing like the [[conservative]] stalwart most of his House constituents believe him to be. | + | '''James Michael Johnson''', known as '''Mike Johnson''' (born January 30, 1972), is the 56th [[Speaker]] of the [[United States House of Representatives]], having won the position in a 220-209 special vote on October 25, 2023.

| − | After a high-profile meeting in early 2024 at the [[White House]], Johnson promised to the [[American]] people that securing Biden's open southern border to stop the flow of millions of [[illegal aliens]] into the [[U.S.]] would have to be the top priority for any continued funding of the federal government. But then Johnson completely caved into [[liberals]] by giving them all the funding they wanted for their projects, including nearly $100 billion more in senseless foreign aid, without obtaining a dime to secure the southern border. Subsequently [[conservative]] Reps. [[MTG]] and [[Thomas Massie|Massie]] moved to vacate Speaker Johnson's chair, and he was only kept in power by [[Democrat]]s voting for him. | + | After a high-profile meeting in early 2024 at the [[White House]], Johnson promised to the [[American]] people that securing Biden's open southern border to stop the flow of millions of [[illegal aliens]] into the [[U.S.]] would have to be the top priority for any continued funding of the federal government.
