Three House Republicans Defy Trump in First 2025 Test of His 'Mandate'

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. efy-trump-in-first-2025-test-of-his-mandate.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Friday, January 3rd 2025 at 14:40 GMT by Newsweek}

In the first test of President-elect Donald Trump 's "mandate" over a unified Republican Party, three House Republicans defied him by voting against Speaker Mike Johnson, who Trump endorsed to serve another term as speaker.

House Republicans are currently navigating a contentious race for the position of Speaker of the House, with significant internal division despite former President Donald Trump's endorsement of Kevin McCarthy. Despite Trump's support, McCarthy has failed to secure the necessary 218 votes, with opposition from at least 20 GOP members, including notable figures like Representatives Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert. This resistance stems from a desire among some Republicans for a more ideologically pure candidate, leading to a prolonged and public battle that has seen McCarthy lose multiple rounds of voting. The situation has led to frustration among McCarthy's supporters, with some like Rep. Dan Crenshaw criticizing the dissenters for not adhering to the party's majority decision. Meanwhile, alternative candidates like Rep. Byron Donalds have emerged, further complicating McCarthy's path to leadership. This ongoing struggle highlights deep divisions within the GOP, potentially affecting their legislative agenda and governance capabilities.
