Johnson received 220 votes with no Republicans voting against him.
Rep. Mike Johnson was elected as the 56th speaker of the House Wednesday after three failed GOP tries. Unlike in previous ballots, every single Republican voted for him, giving him 220 votes.
The hard-liner and 2020 election denier said the House will have an “aggressive schedule in the days and weeks ahead.”
The House has faced a chaotic speakership battle that has dragged on for three weeks.
Rep. Mike Johnson was elected the 56th speaker of the House of Representatives, winning every single Republican in the chamber.
He prevailed over House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in a 220-209 vote.
Rep. Mike Johnson appears to have enough votes to win the House speakership, winning over the majority of voting members in the chamber.
Johnson hit the 215 votes needed, with no Republicans defecting thus far. Members have a chance to change their votes or cast ballots if they were not present once roll call ends.
Should he claim the gavel, Johnson's ascension to the speaker would cap an over three-week period since former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was booted and in which the House was essentially paralyzed.
Rep. Mike Johnson can afford to lose five Republican votes Wednesday in his speakership bid as the roll call is underway.
With 429 House members in the Capitol today, only one Republican -- Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden -- is absent. The other three missing members are Democrats.
That means Johnson can win the speaker's gavel with 215 votes if all members vote and nobody votes "present." Therefore, Johnson can afford to lose five votes and still become speaker.

Rep. Pete Aguilar, the No. 3 House Democrat, introduced House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries as House Democrats' speaker nominee.
Aguilar accused House Republicans of trying to push forward support for an abortion ban and "overturning a free and fair election," noting Rep. Mike Johnson's past opposition to certifying the 2020 election results.
Aguilar praised Jeffries as someone who "believes that everyone in America should have the opportunity to get ahead" and "in keeping our government running and open."
"If House Republicans choose, they can still join us on a bipartisan path forward," Aguilar said.
Jeffries took a swipe at Republicans during his speech saying, "This has been about one thing, this is about who can appease Donald Trump."
Then, several Republicans, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Cory Mills, and Troy Nehls, also stood up and started applauding.
Aguilar continued, "House Republicans have put their names behind someone who has been called the most important architect of the electoral college objections," in a reference to Johnson's role getting Republicans to sign on to the unsuccessful Texas lawsuit to get the Supreme Court to toss the 2020 election votes in key swing states.
He was interrupted by Greene and other Republicans again. A group of them started clapping. One shouted, "That's right!" and another started chanting "Mike!"
Democrats were surprised by the response.
"We know how you feel. Yeah. You've made that clear," Aguilar said, before continuing.
