Republicans tap Emmer as speaker nominee
Republicans tapped Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) as their speaker-designate during a closed-door candidate election on Tuesday morning, defeating Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) in the final round.
The victory makes him the third lawmaker to secure the party’s nomination as the House scrambles to elect a new leader just three weeks before the government is scheduled to shut down.
