When Rep. Jim Jordan failed on a second ballot last week, he was still the Republicans’ speaker-designate, and the Ohio congressman still expressed optimism that he’d get the gavel eventually. But a variety of his colleagues saw the writing on the wall — and some of the most ambitious among them started letting others know they, too, were interested in the position.
For now, the candidate generating the most attention is the House majority whip, and for good reason: Emmer has received McCarthy’s endorsement, and a variety of news organizations have already described him as the “frontrunner“ to win the GOP’s nod in the wake of Jordan’s failure.
