Hey, House Republicans: Elect a speaker and get back to doing your jobsexited the race to be the next House speaker
The GOP caucus was due to hold its second candidate forum in approximately 24 hours later Tuesday, lawmakers told The Post, with a fourth nominating vote to follow.Majority Whip Tom Emmer exited the race to be his conference’s next House speaker just four hours after he was nominated after facing sharp opposition from dozens of holdouts.Johnson and Rep. Kevin Hern re-entered the contest while Rep. Austin Scott , who had tried for the speakership twice before, took himself out of the running.
“I would vote for a conservative,” Rep. Jim Banks , who was one of the holdouts, told reporters upon exiting the GOP meeting. “Tom Emmer is not a conservative.” “He never respected the Power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA—MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! He fought me all the way, and actually spent more time defending Ilhan Omar, than he did me—He is totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters,” the former president added.
“We need a Republican Speaker that reflects the values of Republican voters that can lead our conference.”
