Here is why Rep. Keith Self switched his vote for House speaker

EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) was reelected as speaker of the House on Friday during the first round of voting, but not without some objections from some House Republicans.

Three Republicans initially voted against Johnson as House speaker for the 119th Congress. One of the votes against the Louisiana congressman, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), was expected. Two others, Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) and Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), were somewhat of a surprise. However, before the first round of voting was gaveled, Johnson met with Self and Norman. After a short conversation, both switched their votes, and Johnson was reelected to his position.
