Representative Keith Self (R-TX) voted for Representative Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) for the position of Speaker of the House, marking the third GOP defection against the favored candidate, Mike Johnson. This vote indicates a growing dissent within the Republican party, as three members have voted against Johnson and six have abstained so far. The vote by Self suggests that Johnson is likely to fail on the first ballot for the speakership.
