Mike Johnson was elected as the Speaker of the House today (October 15th). Who will be the next Speaker?
Answer must be the full name of one individual. Any options added that are duplicates or too broad will be ignored. A new Speaker pro tempore would not count.
While the United States House of Representatives is a prominent example, it's not the only one! Many countries around the world have a national assembly with a chamber called the "House." Here are some examples:

@DylanSlagh The market will stay open until there is a new person (anyone other than Mike Johnson) elected speaker. Kevin McCarthy and any other previous speaker would be eligible.
