A lone Republican member<\/a> of the House voted “present” on Wednesday in the fourth attempt to agree on a House speaker, the first such vote in the two days the GOP has been trying to find a consensus candidate.<\/p>\n

Rep. Victoria Spartz<\/a> of Indiana was the only member to vote “present,” a move that changes the dynamic of the vote. Members who don\u2019t vote or who vote “present” reduce the minimum number of votes needed to secure a majority of the House.<\/p>\n

Spartz said Republicans need to deliberate further as a conference until they are confident they have the votes for a speaker and “stop wasting everyone’s time.”<\/p>\n

“We have a constitutional duty to elect the Speaker of the House, but we have to deliberate further as a Republican conference until we have enough votes and stop wasting everyone\u2019s time,” Spartz said in a statement Wednesday.<\/p>\n

“None of the Republican candidates have this number yet. That\u2019s why I voted present after all votes were cast.”<\/p>\n

It’s unclear if Spartz’s switch signals that she might support a candidate for the seat other than McCarthy for future votes. A representative for Spartz did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

Spartz cast her vote after talking to Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., a top aide to Kevin McCarthy, who has been trying to secure 218 votes to win the speaker\u2019s gavel.<\/p>\n

McHenry is one of the lawmakers who has been talked about as a possible alternative candidate to McCarthy who might be able to win 218 votes.<\/p>\n

The final vote in the fourth round was 201 votes for McCarthy<\/a>, 212 for Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, 20 for Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and Spartz’s lone “present” vote.<\/p>\n
