Cartoon: Mike Johnson takes the mic
Shiyo Ohashi, Scot Scoop Cartoons Editor
After weeks of infighting that paralyzed the House of Representatives, Republicans have banded together to elect conservative Mike Johnson to Speaker of the House. Johnson is strongly anti-LGBTQ, has funded legislation that has attempted to bar the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity to children under 10, opposes funding for the war in Ukraine, and supports a nationwide abortion ban. He was also involved in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election. (Shiyo Ohashi)
