A pro-Trump election denier, representative Mike Johnson of Louisiana, wins the speaker's

race.

A week ago, barely anyone in Washington knew his name.

People are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?

I said, well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it, that's my worldview.

If you don't think the moving from Kevin McCarthy to MAGA Mike Johnson shows the ascendance

of this movement and where the power in the Republican Party truly lies, then you're

not paying attention.

What does MAGA Mike mean for the country, for Congress, for Ukraine and Israel?

And what does his win say about the GOP?

Next.

This is Washington Week with The Atlantic.

Good evening and welcome to Washington Week.

There are so many questions about the speaker's race, which came at a tumultuous moment in

the world.

I'm going to discuss all of this with McCay Coppins, a staff writer and my colleague at The

Atlantic.

He's also the author of the new book, Romney A Reckoning.
