Republican says Trump was playing golf when president-elect called him to switch House speaker vote to Johnson

Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., initially voted for Jim Jordan for speaker of the House Friday, but President-elect Trump was able to convince him to change his vote — while working on his golf game.

Norman was one of three Republicans who initially refused to vote for Mike Johnson to retain his role.

While speaking to reporters Friday, Norman said Trump had called him more than once to try to influence his vote on the speaker.
