Fox News – Rep. Tom Emmer has secured the republican nomination for Speaker of the House. “this is the third time Republicans have chosen a speaker nominee since the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy earlier this month. Since then they have tried to elect both Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, but neither were able to secure votes on the House floor, facing significant Republican opposition.”
