From the nine candidates the Republicans selected the majority whip Tom Emmer from Minnesota as their choice for Speaker of the House.
This makes sense. After all many people consider the majority whip the number two guy.
He didn't come close to getting the required votes.
Reportedly six new challengers have entered the lists.
- Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida
- Rep. Chuck Fleischmann of Tennessee
- Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee
- Rep. Kevin Hern of Oklahoma
- Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana
- Rep. Roger Williams of Texas
We shall see what we shall see.
