The first pass at ballots in the Republican Conference now puts Louisiana’s Mike Johnson, the House GOP Conference vice chair, in the lead to be the next former Speaker-designate. And it shows a lot of unity that “Other” came in third. The vote outcome:
- Mike Johnson (Louisiana): 85
- Byron Donalds (Florida): 32
- Mark Green (Tennessee): 23
- Roger Williams (Texas): 21
- Chuck Fleischmann (Tennesee): 10
- Other: 31
