Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene believes that the eight GOP members who voted to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy have a duty to apologize and"heal the conference" as Republicans have struggled to maintain order in the House.
Wednesday marks 22 days without a House speaker. There have been three GOP nominees that have dropped out of the race: Majority Leader Steve Scalise , Rep. Jim Jordan , and Majority Whip Tom Emmer . All three could not receive the 217 votes needed to become speaker. Scalise and Emmer's nominations did not make it to the floor, but Jordan lost three rounds after over 20 Republicans defected to support someone else.
The Georgia congresswoman backed Jordan when he was the nominee but opposed Emmer as speaker. She said she liked the whip personally but could not back his voting record. Emmer withdrew from the race on Tuesday afternoon after it was clear he had too many obstacles to overcome, including the 25 Republicans who came out in opposition to his bid earlier in the day and comments from former President Donald Trump.
