House Speaker Mike Johnson stressed the importance of having a 'functioning Congress' and vowed to keep fighting for conservative agenda items.
Johnson expressed hope for an end to 'personality politics' and 'frivolous character assassination' that have characterized the 118th Congress.
While a failed vote to remove him from the speakership allows Johnson to move past the issue, support from Democrats opens him up to further criticism from his conservative peers.
Johnson clarified that despite receiving help from Democrats in the vote, his priority remains keeping the Republican House majority and winning more seats in the upcoming election.
