Speaker Johnson Faces Narrowest House Majority in Nearly 100 Years
Speaker Mike Johnson is set to face a historically narrow Republican majority in the House of Representatives. The current Republican majority stands at 220-215, which will narrow to 219-215 due to the absence of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has indicated he will not serve his term[4]. This margin is among the narrowest in U.S. history, making it crucial for Speaker Johnson to maintain support from his party to pass legislation[2]. The vote for House Speaker is scheduled for Friday, marking the beginning of the new Congress[4].
