  Republican Mike Johnson appeared to have fallen short of reelection as House speaker, prompting Republicans to hold the vote as he and his allies worked to flip votes.

The article from MSN discusses the efforts of Rep. Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, to secure the position of Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives. Johnson, who has been nominated by his party, is attempting to unify the GOP and win the speakership in the first round of voting, a task made challenging by internal party divisions. He has been actively engaging with fellow Republicans to garner support, emphasizing unity and a return to legislative productivity. The article highlights the urgency of electing a speaker to address pressing issues like government funding deadlines and foreign aid packages. Johnson's approach includes leveraging his conservative credentials and his role in the Judiciary Committee to appeal to both the party's right wing and more moderate members. However, his success remains uncertain as he needs to convince a significant number of his colleagues to back him, amidst ongoing internal conflicts within the GOP.
