House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, who won the nomination for speaker in the fifth round of voting in a secret ballot Tuesday, dropped out of the race just a few hours later, sources say.
Republican Tom Emmer abruptly abandoned his bid to become House speaker, withdrawing hours after winning the internal party nomination once it became clear he would not have enough support from GOP colleagues for the gavel.
Dejected Republicans, many hearing from angry far-right callers pressuring them to vote against their own nominee, planned to reassemble later Tuesday afternoon ahead of possible floor action. While Emmer won a simple majority in a roll call behind closed doors - 117 votes - he lost more than two dozen Republicans, leaving him far short of what will be needed during a House floor tally ahead.
The House has been in turmoil since a contingent of hard-line Republicans ousted McCarthy, creating what's now a governing crisis that's preventing the normal operations of Congress. There appears to be no resolution within reach. "It's going to be another close race by the time we get to one," said Rep, Kelly Armstrong, R-N.D. "I think it would behoove whoever wins this to stay in the room and figure where they are at and whether they can get there."
Some Democrats have eyed Emmer, who had voted to certify the 2020 election results, as a potential partner in governing the House.
