Nine Republicans have announced that they will run for speaker, after the party cast aside Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio as its latest nominee for the leadership post.
A flood of lawmakers began campaigning just hours after Republicans voted in a closed-door meeting to restart the nomination process after Jordan, his support ebbing, failed on a third floor vote to win the speakership. The vote essentially ensured that the office of the speaker would remain empty for a third week.
Some Republicans who had said they were considering running for the position Friday announced over the weekend that they would not seek the top job, including Reps. Jodey Arrington and Roger Williams, both of Texas.Emmer, 62, is the highest-ranking Republican in the race. Endorsed by former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Emmer is the No. 3 Republican in the House, whose job is to “whip,” or count votes, to pass the speaker’s agenda.
A native New Yorker, he received as many as 20 votes for speaker on the House floor in January during the prolonged fight that resulted in McCarthy emerging as speaker.Hern, 61, is chair of the Republican Study Committee, a group committed to advancing conservative ideology that a majority of the Republican conference belongs to. The post often serves as a springboard to leadership positions. Jordan and Scalise, as well as former Vice President Mike Pence, all have led the committee.
A member of the Freedom Caucus, Palmer keeps a lower profile than many of his deeply conservative counterparts. As a former member of McCarthy’s leadership team who then backed Jordan’s candidacy for speaker, Palmer could try to present himself as a unifying force between the party’s factions. He was elected to Congress in 2014.Few people outside of his district may be familiar with Bergman.
An evangelical Christian who is a member of the Judiciary Committee, Johnson was a key architect of Republicans’ objections to certifying the victory of Joe Biden on Jan. 6, 2021. Many Republicans in Congress relied on his arguments.
