Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) secured the gavel on the first ballot of the new Congress on Friday .

Two key GOP members initially voted for candidates other than Johnson .

President-elect Donald Trump helped secure the Speaker's support in the final minutes of the vote.

Johnson will now be tasked with balancing requests from Trump with the priorities of his members which could, at times, clash.

Republicans ’ top priority, now, will be crafting a bill jam-packed with Trump agenda items, which they aim to pass through a party-line “reconciliation” process that bypasses the threat of a filibuster.
