The 119th Congress began on Friday, with their first order of
business being to elect a House Speaker. Though there were concerns
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) may not have the support to
secure his reelection, he was able to squeak out a victory after
Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC) switched
their votes -- leaving Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) as the only
Republican who refused to support the House Speaker. FOX News
Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram explains how
the vote played out and what Congress' plans are now that they can
move forward. Security is a top priority in the nation's
capital as preparation is underway for former President Jimmy
Carter's state funeral and the inauguration of President-elect
Trump. But in the wake of two deadly New Year's attacks in New
Orleans and Las Vegas, law enforcement and federal agents are now
on high alert about potential threats ahead of the Trump
transition. Former Senior Advisor to the Secretary of Homeland
Security Charles Marino explains why security has not matched
the threat level of recent attacks in the United States and
discusses the necessary protocol that must be present in the wake
of the deadly incidents. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit
