After being elected speaker of the House on the first ballot, Mike Johnson is facing a significant challenge in Congress due to the most narrow House majority in nearly 100 years. This poses a daunting task for Johnson as he navigates through the complexities of pushing forward Trump's legislative agenda in the first year of full Republican control in Washington.
According to Washington Bureau Chief and Political Director, Johnson is well aware of the obstacles that lie ahead. The recent victory on Friday highlighted the problematic path that Johnson must tread carefully to ensure a smooth passage of Trump's agenda.
Despite the challenges, it is believed that voters are more concerned about the outcomes of the unified Republican control in Washington and the impact it will have on the American people. The focus is expected to shift towards the delivery of promises and policies that will benefit the nation as a whole.
