Republican Mike Johnson became president of the United States House of Representatives this Friday with the 218 Republican votes he needed, after negotiating in the same plenary session the change of the two votes of his colleagues on the bench that he needed to renew his mandate.
Johnson has obtained 218 votes in favor compared to the 215 that Hakeem Jeffries has obtained, the Democratic candidate for whom everyone has voted en masse, but at first he did not have the necessary votes, so he had to negotiate a change in the direction of the vote after a first voice vote.
