The House of Representatives has an elected speaker again.
On Wednesday, 220 Republicans voted to name Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) speaker, no Republicans voted against him.
Meanwhile, 209 Democrats voted for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).
The vote ends a 22-day streak where the chamber did not have a formal speaker and was prevented from conducting any business after Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was ousted from the position.
Johnson was nominated on Tuesday night after three other Republicans were nominated and failed to win enough support to become speaker.
Reps. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) were both nominated for the position but withdrew from consideration before heading to a floor vote as opposition to them grew.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was also nominated and went on to lose three floor votes before Republicans voted to drop him as their nominee.
