How each House member voted for Mike Johnson as speaker (2024)

The House elected Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) as speaker on Wednesday, ending a weeks-long stalemate following the ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) three weeks ago. Two-hundred and twenty Republicans voted in favor of Johnson, delivering him the majority of votes needed to win. All Democrats present voted for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

Vote results

Late Tuesday, Johnson became the fourth Republican pick for the post since McCarthy’s ouster. Johnson is the vice chair of the House Republican Conference and a staunchly conservative Republican, but unlike the previous GOP picks for speaker, he has maintained a lower profile since his election to Congress in 2016.
