Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is still refusing to vote for Mike Johnson (R-LA) as House speaker even after President-elect Donald Trump endorsed him.
A possible defection from Massie comes as the Republican Party has a scant one-vote majority in the House. The new Congress will have its first day of session on Jan. 3, 2025, when a speaker election is also anticipated. A speaker will be needed to certify the 2024 election results on Jan. 6 ahead of Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
