The selection of Johnson comes after three rounds of voting on Tuesday evening, making him the fourth House Republican to be elected speaker-designate in the\u2062 past three weeks. This victory follows \u200cMajority Whip Tom Emmer&#8217;s withdrawal as the speaker\u2064 nominee earlier in the day, as it became\u2062 clear \u200che could not \u2063secure the necessary \u2064majority votes.<\/p>\n<h3>A November to Remember: Youngkin Bets \u2064on 15-Week Abortion Cap for 2023 GOP\u2064 Takeover<\/h3>\n<p>The forum began with six candidates on the secret ballot, but quickly narrowed down to \u200bfive \u200cafter Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) announced his withdrawal before voting commenced. Four rounds of voting \u200btook place, with Johnson emerging as the winner\u2063 each time. However, the majority whip failed to secure a simple majority on the first two ballots, leading to subsequent rounds.<\/p>\n<p>During \u2063the first round,\u200c Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-TN) was eliminated, \u200cfollowed by Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) in the second round and Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) in the third. Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) \u2063voluntarily withdrew after\u2064 the second round.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans will reconvene on Wednesday morning for another closed-door vote, where a roll call will determine if 217 members support Johnson&#8217;s nomination\u200d on\u200b the floor. If successful, lawmakers are expected \u200cto call for a floor vote, \u2063although the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/johnson-is-next-to-win-gop-speaker-nomination-as-republicans-push-for-floor-vote\/\" title=\"Johnson poised to secure GOP speaker nomination as Republicans push for vote\">exact timing remains \u2064uncertain<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some Republican members are urging for a \u2062prompt floor vote, putting pressure on\u2062 party leaders to conclude the leadership elections swiftly.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Taking a break is by \u200ddesign because it\u2063 keeps the old\u2062 guard\u200c in,&#8221; said Rep. Tim\u200d Burchett (R-TN). &#8220;Every one of these guys has been scuttled, and the reason they&#8217;ve been scuttled is because they could be the speaker and our old guard would lose power.
