Just 25 Republicans did not vote for Boehner, voting instead for one of the three “conservative” alternatives.
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R- Texas), Rep. Ted Yoho (R- Fla.), and Rep. Daniel Webster ( R- Fla.) all attempted to mount bids for Speaker.
Though Boehner won the Speaker role, many say the small uprising was a sign of a troublesome session as the party faces infighting between conservatives and the establishment.
