Republican Mike Johnson won reelection as Speaker of the House on Friday, Jan. 3.
Johnson won on a razor-thin margin of 218 votes to 215.
Three Republicans initially defected from Johnson: Reps. Ralph Norman (R-South Carolina), Keith Self (R-Texas) and Thomas Massie (R-Kentucky).
Norman and Self then changed their votes to Johnson after briefly meeting with him and speaking to President-elect Donald Trump.
Republicans now officially control the House and Senate, and new and reelected members have been sworn in.
Congress will meet again on Monday to certify Trump’s election win.
