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.
After two failed votes so far, Jordan is expected to soon tell his GOP colleagues that he won't hold a third vote for the role of speaker and instead will throw his weight behind expanding powers for the Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry, according to two sources familiar with the decision.

House Republicans are expected to meet behind closed doors in the Capitol basement at 11 a.m. Thursday to discuss the speaker race situation ahead of a possible floor vote later in the day.
A vote could take place on the floor as early at noon, but the exact timing -- and details of the vote -- haven't been set.

Nearly half a dozen GOP members who have voted against Jordan said they or their offices were threatened or harassed -- including, in the case of one lawmaker, with "credible death threats."
"No American should accost another for their beliefs. We condemn all threats against our colleagues, and it is imperative that we come together. Stop. It’s abhorrent," Jordan said in a statement on X.
Rep. Carlos Gimenez of Florida told ABC News that his office and staff have been receiving calls to try to pressure him to back Jordan.
“He [Jordan] told me he wasn’t behind it and he has asked people to stop. If you have asked people to stop it, why haven’t they listened to you?” Gimenez said.

Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., said he plans on giving Jordan "as long as he needs" to garner the support necessary to clinch the speakership.
"Look, Speaker-designee Jordan is working with the conference to get his votes. It's a tight time frame. But look -- he has the most votes in the conference. We've had two ballots and I think he has the support of the conference. I think we are going to keep working," McHenry told reporters.
McHenry added that House Republicans didn't "have plans to" hold a conference meeting Wednesday evening after Jordan failed to win the gavel for the second time in two days.
