President Joe Biden released a statement congratulating House Speaker Kevin McCarthy,<\/a> who was officially elected just after midnight Saturday morning. He was sworn in about an hour later.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Jill and I congratulate Kevin McCarthy on his election as Speaker of the House. The American people expect their leaders to govern in a way that puts their needs above all else, and that is what we need to do now,” Biden said. <\/p>\n

McCarthy\u2019s victory came after days of lengthy deliberations in the House of Representatives,<\/a> which started Tuesday and culminated with a dramatic pair of votes overnight Friday into Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As I said after the midterms, I am prepared to work with Republicans when I can and voters made clear that they expect Republicans to be prepared to work with me as well. Now that the leadership of the House of Representatives has been decided it is time for that process to begin,” Biden added.<\/p>\n

KEVIN MCCARTHY ELECTED HOUSE SPEAKER IN 15TH FLOOR VOTE AFTER DAYS OF HIGH DRAMA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

After McCarthy won the speakership, he briefly shared remarks which included his legislative priorities in the 118th session, including securing the southern border,<\/a> slashing spending, and creating a bipartisan committee on China.<\/p>\n

Biden too offered his priorities in his congratulatory remarks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MCCARTHY LOSES BY ONE VOTE IN SHOCKING 14TH ATTEMPT, FURIOUS FLOOR LOBBYING FAILED TO SWAP OPPONENTS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The president said: “Today we learned that my plan to build an economy<\/a> that works from the bottom up and the middle out has achieved the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years. And that we made 2021 and 2022 the best years for job growth on record.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s imperative that we continue that economic progress, not set it back. It is imperative that we protect Social Security and Medicare, not slash them. It is imperative that we defend our national security, not defund it. These are some of the choices before us,” he continued.<\/p>\n

THE VOTE FOR HOUSE SPEAKER: LIVE UPDATES<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Biden also said<\/a> the country could do “profound things” when it does them “together.”<\/p>\n

“This is a time to govern responsibly and to ensure that we\u2019re putting the interests of American families first,” the president concluded.<\/p>\n

McCarthy won the speakership in a 15th and final vote, receiving 216 of the 428 votes. Six members, all Republicans, voted present.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After McCarthy was sworn in, the House and all its newly sworn-in members passed a resolution officially notifying the president of McCarthy’s victory and allowing communication from the White House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
