Republicans voted behind closed doors to nominate Tom Emmer for speaker of the House three weeks after Kevin McCarthy was ousted. Emmer dropped out hours later.
The political team of former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who became an outspoken opponent of the former president, sent around some old clips about Johnson’s involvement and highlighted The New York Times calling him “the most important architect of the Electoral College objections.”
Troy Nehls of Texas said that he is still planning to nominate Donald Trump for speaker, even if the former president would only be in place for a short time ahead of next year’s presidential election.
Some context on Tom Emmer voting to certify the 2020 election result: He chaired the NRCC that cycle and Republicans had a good night, unexpectedly gaining 13 seats — all on the same ballot as Donald Trump.
The fact that so many of them backed Donald Trump’s theory of a faulty 2020 election — even after a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol — isn’t entirely surprising, since it was a common position among GOP leadership.
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.
And you can’t have the full complement of American leadership if the House of Representatives is not functioning,” Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., said on NBC’s “Meet the Press NOW,” emphasizing the need for his colleagues to move on and coalesce around a new leader.
