House Republicans are once again trying to pick a speaker today, following the acrimony and dysfunction of last week.
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer speaks to reporters as he leaves a House Republican candidates forum where congressmen who are running for speaker of the House presented their platforms in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill on October 23, 2023, in Washington, D.C.that they have chosen Rep. Tom Emmer of Minnesota as their new nominee for Speaker of the House.
The latest evidence of fracturing in the party took place Friday afternoon, when hard right Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan’s candidacy for the House speakership wasby his own Republican colleagues. Jordan had hoped that the third time around would be a charm, having failed to secure a majority in two earlier elections for the speakership. Instead, he got a rude awakening.
Oversight Committee’s own witnesses failed to come up with anything even remotely resembling an impeachable offense And herein lies a lesson: While the GOP apparently has endless tolerance for Trump’s intimidatory tactics, for his flirtation with violence, and for his ginning up of the crowd against those he deems to be “enemies of the people,” its congressmembers don’t take it kindly when all of that wrath, that fire and fury, is turned inward on them.
