Mike Johnson was reelected as Speaker of the House, gaining support by promising to implement reforms aimed at eliminating waste and inefficiencies in government spending. This includes an initiative to collaborate with Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE). Johnson's reassurances were crucial to overcoming opposition from hard-right Republicans, although some analysts caution that Republican divisions may complicate governance moving forward.
