House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has sworn in two new members of the Republican conference, giving him a three-seat majority ahead of a crucial budget fight in the coming weeks.

Reps. Jimmy Patronis (R-FL) and Randy Fine (R-FL) became the latest members of the House just one day after their victories in Florida’s special elections to fill the seats of former Rep. Matt Gaetz and now-national security adviser Mike Waltz.
