Trump's influence evident in Johnson's re-election as House Speaker, reporter says
Republican Mike Johnson was narrowly re-elected as U.S. House Speaker on Friday after he was able to convince two holdouts to flip and support him. Mica Soellner, a congressional reporter for Punchbowl News, said it was thanks to president-elect Donald Trump's intervention and she believes it's 'probably the start of a very long four years where Trump will play a heavy hand' in Congress.
