Mike Johnson

Mike Johnson interests me less for his politics than for the improbability of his rise. A constitutional lawyer from Shreveport who spent years in talk radio and relative obscurity, he became Speaker of the House almost overnight when better-known rivals burned each other out. That tells me something about Washington, but also about Johnson himself: patience and a low profile can be weapons. Whatever you think of his agenda, holding the gavel through a fractious, razor-thin majority requires real tactical nerve. I keep watching him because figures who arrive without a national reputation often reveal who they truly are only once the spotlight becomes inescapable.
