Live updates: House begins Speaker vote; Suspense builds with GOP holdouts

The House is now voting on whether Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) will keep his gavel in the 119th Congress.

Johnson has a narrow margin for error in Friday's Speakership vote.

Assuming all members are present and voting for a candidate, Johnson can afford to lose only one GOP vote — and Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is widely seen as an immovable "no."

Roughly a dozen other conservative Republicans are undecided.

The election of the Speaker must be completed before the House can take any other actions, including swearing in its members, adopting a rules package and, eventually, certifying President-elect Trump's victory Monday.

On the other side of the Capitol, senators anticipate far less drama but will also see new members sworn in on the first day of the new Congress.
