Reps. Ralph Norman (R-SC) and Keith Self (R-TX), who initially voted for Reps. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Byron Donalds (R-FL), respectively, just changed their votes to Mike Johnson. He now has the simple majority of votes needed to be elected speaker.
The two switched their votes after walking off the House floor with Johnson, appearing to meet with the Louisiana Republican briefly.

If at “Frist” you don’t succeed, try, try again!
One wonders how often Johnson consults his “Porn Meter.”
Seems a little early for popcorn, but I love it, so I’ll make a big bowl for the day!
Wouldn’t it be crazy/great if Jeffries was elected?!!!
Ideally Rethugliklans will drag this out until Jan. 20 without certifying the vote and Kamala Harris will be sworn in.
Johnson: “Here’s the deal: if you elect me without any stunts, the first round of raw milk is on me!”
