US Republicans try, try again with fourth speaker nominee

Republicans continue to struggle to find a replacement for the ousted speaker of the US House of Representatives, with their fourth nominee in two weeks, Mike Johnson, facing internal divisions within the party. Johnson, a relative novice in politics, won an internal party vote after the previous nominee, Tom Emmer, withdrew due to backlash from former president Donald Trump. The chaos within the Republican Party has left Congress unable to address various global crises and the threat of a government shutdown.
