Kevin McCarthy\u2019s (R-Calif.) Speaker bid on Wednesday switched their votes to Rep. Byron Donalds (Fla.), a second-term congressman and one of two Black Republicans currently in the chamber.<\/p>\n<p>The 20 GOP members voted for Donalds in the fourth round of Speaker voting, which saw no hopeful secure a majority. <\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr1_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) won 212 votes from Democrats, and 201 GOP members backed McCarthy. Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-Ind.), who previously voted for McCarthy, voted \u201cpresent\u201d on the fourth ballot.<\/p>\n<p>Donalds, a 44-year-old former businessman and state representative in Florida, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/the-recast\/2022\/07\/15\/byron-donalds-new-wave-black-republicans-00046110\">is seen in the party as a rising star<\/a>. A fiery conservative, he has been outspoken about his anti-abortion views and support for gun rights. And while he has been considered a supporter of former President Trump, the strength of his loyalty there has been called into question since the 2022 midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>In November, he challenged Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) for conference chair, the fourth-highest ranking position in leadership, but lost in a closed-door vote. The contest between Donalds and Stefanik illustrated an emerging dichotomy in the Republican Party:\u00a0Stefanik, a strong supporter of Trump, endorsed the former president ahead of his 2024 presidential bid. Donalds has not.<\/p>\n<p>The catapult of Donalds to Speaker consideration is a quick ascent from 2020, when he won his nine-way Republican primary by just over 700 votes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In his nominating speech of Donalds for Speaker, Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said he would \u201cstand up\u201d to the establishment in Washington.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not seek to judge people by the color of their skin, but rather the content of their character,\u201d Roy said. \u201cByron Donalds is a good man, raised by a single mom, moved past diversity, became a Christian man at the age of 21, and has devoted his life to advancing the cause for his family and this country. And he has done it admirably.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Donalds supported McCarthy through two rounds of voting on Tuesday, but then switched his support to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) in the third round before Republicans adjourned the chamber for the day. Jordan has so far cast all his votes for McCarthy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
