Republican Mike Johnson secures needed votes to be next U.S. House Speaker

We almost needed another Speaker this week, because the new Speaker did the worst possible thing a Speaker of the House could do: He acted in a partisan manner while presenting himself as Speaker.

He's apologized, he's had his metaphorical knuckles rapped by a committee of the House, and as long as it doesn't happen again he's allowed to remain in the job.
