The Republican conference is planning to meet Monday evening to hear from this new crop of nine candidates seeking to become House speaker.
Rep. Jim Jordan gave up his bid for House speaker after failing to win the position after three rounds of voting last week. After Rep. Jim Jordan failed to become speaker of the House three times last week, nine Republicans have announced their intention to seek their conference’s nomination.
In a statement shared Saturday, Emmer — who supported both Reps. Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise in their failed efforts to become speaker — announced his intention to seek the gavel and highlighted his work as NRCC chairman and the connections he’s formed with Republican members as majority whip. When McCarthy was initially ousted, Hern was floated as a possible candidate, but he backed out of competing against Jordan and Scalise.
“I have no special interests to serve; I’m only in this to do what’s best for our Nation and to steady the ship for the 118th Congress,” he said in an X post.Bergman, who chairs the Committee on Armed Services subcommittee on intelligence and special operations, has served in Congress since 2017 and is a member of the conservative Republican Study Committee. He objected to the certification of the results of the 2020 election.
Johnson, 51, an attorney and former radio host, has served in the House since 2017 and is the vice-chair of the House Republican Conference, serving under Stefanik. From 2019 to 2021, he chaired the conservative Republican Study Committee. He’s also the chair of the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution and limited government.
