Emmer goes down
The third House Republican to win his party’s nomination for speaker withdrew Tuesday hours after winning the title. Rep. Tom Emmer withdrew his name from the speaker race before calling a House floor vote.
Republicans remain divided about who should lead the party since Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s historic ousting three weeks ago. Emmer dropped out shortly after former President Trump called him a “globalist RINO.”
