Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) cast his Speaker vote for Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), a former House member turned senator who was considered a potential running mate for President-elect Joe Biden last year. Golden voted two years ago for Rep. Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.), who was the chair of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee at the time.

Rep. Conor Lamb (D-Pa.), meanwhile, voted for House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), who is considered a rising star in the caucus ranks. Lamb previously cast his vote for Speaker in 2019 for former Rep. Joe Kennedy (D-Mass.), who was unsuccessful in his primary challenge last year against Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.).

Three additional Democrats voted “present”:

Reps. Mikie Sherrill (N.J.),

Elissa Slotkin (Mich.)

and

Abigail Spanberger (Va.).

Slotkin similarly voted “present” in 2019, while Spanberger and Sherrill had voted for Bustos.
