Susan B. Glasser writes about how former President Donald Trump’s influence impacted the selection of the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
For more than three weeks, amid a brewing crisis in the Middle East and with a national election year looming, House Republicans shut down the one branch of government that they control, having allowed a faction of just eight rebels to depose their leader and then finding themselves unable to agree on who should replace him.
After five rounds of voting in the Republican Conference on Tuesday, Emmer defeated Johnson, a hundred and nineteen votes to ninety-seven votes. But then Trump weighed in. No way he wanted an election enabler as House Speaker. In a Truth Social post, Trump warned against the “tragic mistake” of choosing a “globalist RINO” like Emmer.
