Rep. Eric Burlison (R-MO) predicted his fellow Republican lawmakers would unite to pass significant legislation.

Burlison appeared on Fox Report with Jon Scott Saturday following Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) winning the House speakership in a single election. Every Republican but one, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) who voted “present,” supported Johnson. The swiftness demonstrated a rare unity within the party, which Burlison hoped would propel the Republican agenda into the future.
