Democratic lawmakers reacted to Rep. Mike Johnson being re-elected as speaker of the House of Representatives for the 119th Congress on Friday.
During the first round, three Republicans voted for candidates other than Johnson. However, after a short meeting in the GOP cloakroom with Johnson, Republican holdouts Reps. Ralph Norman and Keith Self changed their vote for the first round - securing the speakership for Johnson. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.
