Rep. Thomas Massie (R, Ky.) has cast the first Republican vote against Mike Johnson. Massie said ahead of the session Friday that he planned to vote against the Louisiana Republican, instead voting for Rep.

"You can start cutting off my fingers," Kentucky U.S. Rep Thomas Massie said. "I am not voting for Mike Johnson.”

"I'd say there's a 70% chance Mike Johnson is going to be speaker ... because that's just the way the swamp works," Congressman Thomas Massie said.
