In a surprising move, Mike Johnson managed to tamp down a conservative rebellion and secured the support to remain speaker on the first ballot Friday, after two Republicans who initially opposed him flipped their votes.
After a long break, Reps. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) and Keith Self (R-Texas) flipped their votes to back Johnson.
It’s a major boon for Republican vows to swiftly implement President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda. Trump weighed in repeatedly in Johnson’s favor as the contest played out.
