House Republicans today nominated Tom Emmer of Minnesota to be their candidate for speaker, but he dropped out just hours later when it became clear he could not secure the 217 votes needed to win the gavel in a House floor vote.
Rep. Gary Palmer of Alabama dropped out prior to the first vote this morning, following Rep. Dan Meuser of Pennsylvania's exit last night. "For over 52 years, I have run a successful small business back home in Weatherford, Texas, where I have seen how the strong hand of the government hurts all Americans. It is time a conservative businessman stands up to put the country back on track," Williams said.
“I wasn’t treated particularly well by him as you’ve heard. He wasn’t MAGA,” Trump told reporters in New York.Asked if he would support Rep. Byron Donalds for speaker, Trump said that he likes the Florida Republican “very much.” Here’s the full list of people who voted against him and who they voted for instead. This list was confirmed by three sources in the room.that he had initially supported Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., on Tuesday morning and then supported Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., on the next ballot.
Trump wrote of Emmer:"He never respected the Power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA-MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!" "I hope there’s a change along the way. He doesn’t have the support in the room right now. So dozens of members that won’t vote for him at this point," Banks added, describing the meeting as"a heated discussion."House Republicans will take a break until 4 p.m. ET to give Emmer time to talk to the roughly two dozen lawmakers who are against his bid, several members told NBC News.
"Every member is tired of this. Every member is tired of those eight who worked with every single Democrat," he said."The eight members worked with every single Democrat to put us in this place. So we're tired of that ... that is why we're where we are."During an internal conference vote, 26 GOP representatives did not vote to back Emmer, according to Rep. Brandon Williams of New York."The bulk of them were for Jim Jordan, and there was five for Mike Johnson.
The agreement ends weeks of paralysis related to this government funding measure after a number of Senate Republicans objected to lumping the bills together instead of considering them individually. LaMalfa said Republicans are conducting a roll call vote inside their private meeting. This will give Emmer a sense of who is opposed to him. He'll need a majority of the whole House to win.Republicans nominated Emmer to be House speaker, the third lawmaker to be nominated as the chamber enters its third week without a leader.
