Boris Johnson To Replace Theresa May As Prime Minister

Boris Johnson has defeated rival Jeremy Hunt in the contest to replace Theresa May as Conservative party leader and as Britain’s prime minister.

In his victory speech, Johnson said he would prove his critics wrong and deliver Brexit, then summed up his strategy as: "Dude, we're going to energize the country.”

Theresa May will step down as prime minister on Wednesday and Johnson will take the reins.

The biggest task for Johnson will be to take Britain out of the EU, but his hardline strategy has plenty of critics.
