Three other canidates where quickly discarded. Representative Tom Emmer, who was let go from his speakership bid by the hard right on Tuesday, called the bitter process Republicans just went through over the past three weeks \u201copen, honest, transparent and a true display of what democracy looks like in action.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The paragraphs are small and add statements from Biden and others in leadership positions. There is a good perspective from many angles. The inverted pyramid is used as the most important information is mentioned first then there is more information added on later. There is quote after quote from Johnson added in. There is talk about a government shutdown if funds can not be acquired. But overall there is celebration of the new election and hope for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2023\/10\/25\/multimedia\/25HOUSE-LIVE7-ktql\/25HOUSE-LIVE7-ktql-articleLarge.jpg?quality=75&amp;auto=webp&amp;disable=upscale\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2023\/10\/25\/us\/house-speaker-vote-mike-johnson?campaign_id=60&#038;emc=edit_na_20231025&#038;instance_id=0&#038;nl=breaking-news&#038;ref=cta&#038;regi_id=218001202&#038;segment_id=148279&#038;user_id=a3c464112f5d8b8fffb42950ee36f2b1\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The representative Mike Johnson won election on wednesday and became the 56th speaker of the house of representatives after three weeks of infighting and dysfunction.
