In third attempt to elect speaker, GOP nominates Tom Emmer

In third attempt to elect speaker, GOP nominates Tom Emmer
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


WASHINGTON — House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., emerged from a crowded field of candidates Tuesday to become Republicans’ latest nominee for speaker.

Emmer, the No. 3 Republican in leadership and the GOP’s chief vote counter, defeated GOP Conference Vice Chair Mike Johnson, R-La., in the fifth and final round of internal voting. The vote was 117 to 97, with five Republicans voting for other candidates, lawmakers said.

But Emmer’s victory was met with swift and vocal opposition from some in the party, leaving his candidacy for the top job in serious doubt.

More than two dozen Republicans indicated in a private roll-call vote that they would not back Emmer’s nomination on the House floor. And former President Donald Trump, who had stayed on the sidelines during this round of selecting a new nominee, issued a scathing statement on Truth Social bashing Emmer as a Republican in name only.

“I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors. RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them,” Trump said. “He never respected the power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Emmer’s nomination comes exactly three weeks after California Republican Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the speaker’s office — the first time in history a sitting speaker had been removed. The majority whip told colleagues he wanted to secure the needed 217 GOP votes first before going to the floor, lawmakers said, and he stayed for hours after the vote addressing concerns from his staunchest critics.

But like the party’s previous two nominees — Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio — Emmer appeared nowhere close to having the votes needed to win the gavel.

“It’s either third time’s a charm or three strikes you’re out!” Rep. Marc Molinaro, R-N.Y., said of the situation.

Immediately after Emmer’s victory, House Republicans took a separate roll call to see if 217 members were willing to back him on the floor. More than two dozen voted “present” or for someone else, multiple lawmakers said; many of the anti-Emmer votes were cast for either Jordan or Johnson, said lawmakers who kept a list of the detractors.

“It should not be surprising to anyone that there is nobody in that room that is going to be able to get 217 votes as we speak,” Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., told reporters.

Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., who voted for Jordan in the roll call, said there was no path for Emmer to win the speakership on the floor.

“I can’t go along with putting one of the most moderate members of the entire Republican Conference in the speaker’s chair,” said Banks, who lost to Emmer in the race for majority whip last year. “That betrays the conservative values that I came here to fight for. So I hope there’s a change along the way.”

Another “Never Emmer” vote, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., tweeted that Emmer “voted for Democrat gay marriage bill, voted with Democrats to overturn President Trump’s transgender military ban, voted for every penny of Ukraine funding, at one time supported the Soros national popular vote scheme, and voted to certify Biden’s 2020 election.”

After Jordan bowed out on Friday, nine speaker hopefuls threw their hat in the ring for the third round. But during Monday night’s candidate forum, Meuser abruptly dropped out, and moments before any votes were cast Tuesday, Rep. Gary Palmer, R-Ala., followed suit, leaving seven candidates.

Tuesday’s nominating process took place by secret ballot and behind closed doors in the cavernous Ways and Means hearing room in the building named for the late former Speaker Nicholas Longworth.

To winnow the list of seven, the lowest vote-getter was eliminated. In the first round of voting Tuesday, that person was Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas, the former Rules Committee chairman.

Rep. Jack Bergman, R-Mich., was voted out next, followed by Rep. Austin Scott, R-Ga., in the third round. Both Reps. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., and Kevin Hern, R-Okla., tied for last in the fourth round; Donalds dropped out of the race, lawmakers said, and Hern was therefore eliminated.

Emmer had dominated earlier rounds of voting by wide margins, and secured support from a majority of the lawmakers in the room on the fifth ballot.

A GOP civil war has prevented Republicans from agreeing on a McCarthy successor. The GOP’s two previous picks bowed out after they failed to secure the votes needed to win on the floor, leaving the House in a state of unprecedented chaos with a possible government shutdown less than a month away and wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East.

Emmer’s “got a little bit of work to do but I sure hope we can get there,” House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, R-Texas said in a brief interview. “We can’t afford 40 more days without governing. We’re running out of time.”

In an appearance earlier on NBC’s “Meet the Press NOW,” Womack said, “The world is burning around us, and American leadership is necessary. And you can’t have the full complement of American leadership if the House of Representatives is not functioning,” emphasizing the need for his colleagues to move on and coalesce around a new leader.

“The world is watching; our adversaries are paying attention. And it does not, you know, cast a good light on the democratic institutions that we all have sworn to defend,” Womack added. “So again, let’s hope and pray that this week is it.”
