Three, as of today; #4 is up for election.
#3 lasted for 4 hours and then withdrew (I think yesterday) before a vote on the House floor.

5 if you count Hakim Jeffries
In editorials that ran in his local Shreveport, Louisiana, paper, The Times, Johnson called homosexuality a “inherently unnatural” and “dangerous lifestyle” that would lead to legalized pedophilia and possibly even destroy “the entire democratic system.”
During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Mike Johnson attacks Roe v. Wade, insisting that if only women were compelled to bring more "able-bodied workers" into the world, Republicans wouldn’t need to slash Social Security and Medicare.
Democrats are already happily pinning the new speaker’s abortion absolutism on the backs of the entire party as a messaging strategy against vulnerable Republicans heading into 2024.
As DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said, “there are no moderates left on the Republican side.”

The Republicans must have been cognescent of the fact that the previous two Johnsons became President following assassinations...
Every little bit of symbolism is gloves-off brutal in 2023, isn't it?
cognizant
: knowledgeable of something especially through personal experience
also : MINDFUL

Does Shreveport have a reputation as the West Hollywood of the South or something?

In my limited experience Shreveport is a weird mix. Really diverse, super cheap housing/cost of living, great nightlife, not super safe. alot of music and festivals and artistic types, and some old money super duper stuffy religious types that totally fits the new speakers 'mold' (the type that doesnt get invited to parties, and wouldn't enjoy them when they are invited).
It feels more like Arkansas than it does Louisiana... kinda like how some towns in eastern oregon tried to be part of idaho.
Maybe Gary sees it differently but that's just how it's come off to me during my visits

I've been to Shreveport once for two days. I've never met someone who has taken multiple visits there. Are you into alligators or something?

Works brings me through there once every 2-3 years. I was there for 1 day last year, and the time before was like 2018 or 19. Usually if I have a work week in LA it's along the 10. I've spend a good amount of time between Baton Rouge and Lake Charles. Lafayette is probably the worst place to go as a pure tourist, but now it's one of my favorite places to go because I have local friends who know where to go. I honestly love LA, could never live there but these are some of the best work trips. Gas station fried chicken is the best.

So do you work as a professional alligator wrestler or as a French teacher?

First: I think the word Votanic wants here is cognizant, not "cognescent"
