Johnson will now see if he can earn 217 Republican votes on the House floor, a hurdle the three nominees before him could not clear.
Rep. Mike Johnson speaks beside fellow House Republicans after being nominated for speaker on Tuesday. House Republicans elected two speaker-designates in the span of 10 hours Tuesday, but they failed again to fully unite the conference around a new leader, leaving the House without a speaker for the 21st day in a row.
The only actions the House floor has seen in three weeks have been the three failed attempts last week by Jordan to win enough Republican votes to be elected the speakerafter far-right members made clear he would never earn their support, fomenting bad blood between both camps that prevented Jordan from winning over some Scalise backers.
As the party that earned the House majority following last year’s midterm elections, Republicans must determine within their razor-thin ranks who to permanently install as speaker. Democrats remain staunchly behind Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries , but many have publicly declared that they would help Republicans temporarilyWithout a clear path forward, more Republicans are privately signaling their support for a resolution led by Rep.
five rounds of voting Tuesday that saw Johnson, Kevin Hern , Jack Bergman , Austin Scott , and Pete Sessions eliminated. Rep. Gary Palmer pulled his bid Tuesday morning before votes started, and Rep. Byron Donalds — a popular member from the House Freedom Caucus — removed himself from consideration after four rounds of voting to whittle down the field faster.
there were not enough of them in support of his bid, according to three people present who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to detail private conversations. Emmer then declared he was dropping out before storming out of the room. Emmer held court with holdouts for roughly four hours as he worked to assuage their concerns. Members described Emmer as delivering “fiery,” “impassioned” and “compelling” defenses to all questions in a manner that other Republican speaker-designates had not done in front of other colleagues. Emmer has often been described by fellow Republicans as a leader who is blunt and honest, which was appreciated by some who did not trust McCarthy, who they said often made promises he could not keep.
