HOUSE has a NEW SPEAKER - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports "  Mike Johnson: Louisiana Republican elected as Speaker of US House of Representatives...While not the party's top choice, the deeply religious Mr Johnson has few foes and an important backer in former president Donald Trump.  "

Lets Get Real:

The race to be the new Speaker has been a farce, but the end Donald Trump has got someone he can support and has not peeved his colleagues off, thus the whole Republican Majority has supported him, the Democrats has a perfect target, he is against abortion, gay right and is funded by the gas and oil industry.  The attack ads will start Now, the White House has to work out how to combined funding for the Ukraine with support for Israel on to one bill that can pass the Senate and the House, they might get half of what they want, funding for Israel but the Ukraine might be tougher.  One hopes the new Speaker is given some Honeymoon period, the new Speaker is new to Congress and has not served as a Committee Chairman, thus learning on the job.
