0

On Tuesday, Republican Representative Mike Johnson secured his reelection for a seat in the U.S. House, representing the state of Louisiana. Currently, Johnson holds the position of Speaker of the House, a role he assumed last year following the removal of Republican Kevin McCarthy. At the age of 52, Johnson is recognized as a social conservative and a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump. He began his congressional career in 2016.

Before entering Congress, Johnson practiced law as a constitutional attorney and served in the Louisiana state House of Representatives. His congressional district, known for its strong Republican leanings, is situated in the northwestern region of Louisiana and includes the city of Shreveport, the third largest city in the state.

The election results were announced at 9:35 p.m. EST, confirming Johnson’s victory in the reliably conservative district he represents.
