Two-term Utah GOP Rep. Blake Moore won a crowded race Wednesday morning to replace Speaker Johnson as Republican Conference vice chair.
Rep. Blake Moore, R-Utah, won a closed-door election on Wednesday to become the next House Republican Conference vice chair, a role that was vacated when Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., took the gavel.

'And this is a hardworking role.
