Fox News: Mike Johnson wins Republican support to be House speaker again after Trump endorsement
House Speaker Mike Johnson was re-elected to lead the GOP conference following a closed-door vote, with President-elect Donald Trump's endorsement. However, some hard-line GOP members remain hesitant due to Johnson's approach to government spending and foreign aid.

Fox News: Republican Ken Calvert wins re-election to US House in California's 41st Congressional District
Republican Rep. Ken Calvert secured re-election in California's 41st Congressional District against Democrat Will Rollins, maintaining a crucial seat for the GOP. The current House balance stands at 217 to 207, with eleven races still uncalled, bringing the GOP closer to a majority.
Rollins, a former federal prosecutor, aimed to appeal to a broad voter base by emphasizing moderate positions and progressive issues. The district's redistricting in 2021 introduced more liberal areas, making it a competitive battleground. Calvert, a long-serving conservative, has focused on national security and pro-business policies.
