OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — After a chaotic three weeks, the U.S. House of Representatives finally elected a new Speaker of the House with Louisiana Republican Mike Johnson claiming the gavel.

Congressman Don Bacon describes the new speaker as a "decent" man.

“To me, he sounds very Reagan-esque when he talks about ‘our better days are ahead of us,' protecting this institution, the need for civility; and he gave a speech yesterday that's one of the best speeches I've heard on the U.S. House floor,” said Bacon

Despite his vote in favor of Johnson, Bacon says he disagrees on at least one key issue.
