约翰逊以218票连任众议院议长:第119届国会开幕日首轮过关

2025年1月3日,第119届美国国会在华盛顿特区国会大厦开幕,众议院举行议长选举。现任议长、路易斯安那州共和党众议员 Mike Johnson 在第一轮唱名表决中以218票对215票击败民主党领袖 Hakeem Jeffries,连任美国众议院第56任议长。
当天共有434名当选议员参与表决,过半门槛为218票。计票初段,约翰逊一度只有216票:共和党议员 Thomas Massie 投给 Tom Emmer,Ralph Norman 与 Keith Self 分别投给其他人选。在书记官正式宣布结果之前,Norman 与 Self 改投约翰逊,使其票数达到218票;Massie 的一票仍归 Emmer,最终结果定格为约翰逊218票、Jeffries 215票、Emmer 1票。
提名环节,共和党会议主席 Lisa McClain 提名约翰逊,民主党党团主席 Pete Aguilar 提名 Jeffries;点票员由众议员 Virginia Foxx、Joseph Morelle、Bryan Steil 与 Norma Torres 担任。候任总统特朗普在选举前已公开表态支持约翰逊连任。
约翰逊于2023年10月25日接替被罢免的 Kevin McCarthy 出任议长。共和党在2024年选举后以220席对215席保住众议院多数,但因当选议员 Matt Gaetz 未就职,开幕日表决席次为434席,共和党的容错空间只有一票。
议长落定后,众议院随即着手新议员宣誓与议事规则表决,并定于1月6日举行参众两院联席会议、认证2024年总统选举结果。

Johnson Re-elected House Speaker With 218 Votes on First Ballot as 119th Congress Opens
On January 3, 2025, the 119th United States Congress convened at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and the House of Representatives held its election for Speaker. The incumbent Speaker, Republican Representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana, was re-elected as the 56th Speaker of the House on the first roll-call ballot, defeating Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries by 218 votes to 215.
A total of 434 members-elect voted, and 218 votes were needed for a majority. Early in the count Johnson stood at only 216: Republican Thomas Massie voted for Tom Emmer, while Ralph Norman and Keith Self voted for other candidates. Before the result was formally announced by the Clerk, Norman and Self switched their votes to Johnson, bringing him to 218; Massie's single vote remained with Emmer, for a final tally of Johnson 218, Jeffries 215 and Emmer 1.
In the nominations, Republican Conference Chair Lisa McClain placed Johnson's name before the House and Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar nominated Jeffries; Representatives Virginia Foxx, Joseph Morelle, Bryan Steil and Norma Torres served as tellers. President-elect Donald Trump had publicly endorsed Johnson's re-election ahead of the vote.
Johnson first became Speaker on October 25, 2023, succeeding the ousted Kevin McCarthy. Republicans held the House by 220 seats to 215 after the 2024 elections, but because member-elect Matt Gaetz did not take his seat, only 434 members voted on opening day, leaving the Republican margin of error at a single vote.
With the speakership settled, the House moved on to swearing in its members and adopting its rules, ahead of the joint session of Congress on January 6 to certify the 2024 presidential election results.
