(UPDATE: After seeming to come up short in his bid to be named speaker of the House, Rep. Mike Johnson (R–La.) won support from a majority of members on Friday afternoon. Two Republicans—Rep. Ralph Norman (R–S.C.) and Rep. Keith Self (R–Texas)—changed their votes to support Johnson after initially voting for other members. This story has been updated throughout.)
After a delay, members of the House of Representatives supported Johnson in his bid to return to the top post in the chamber. He secured 218 votes, the bare minimum to have a majority in the chamber.
