Several House Republicans are running for speaker in the fourth round of voting after nominees Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Rep. Jim Jordan failed to receive the 217 votes necessary to become top leader of the House.
So far, Bergman has four endorsements from Reps. Tim Walberg , John James , John Moolenaar , and Lisa McClain .Rep. Bryon Donalds announced his intent to run for speaker on Friday, just a few hours after the GOP dropped Jordan as the party's nominee. He is a member of the House Freedom Caucus, the hard-line conservative wing of the Republican Party.
Emmer was floated as a possible speaker candidate before the nomination went to Scalise. The majority whip only received one vote —from Rep. Ken Buck — during each speakership round. However, he is a loyal supporter of Trump and supported the former president's debunked claims that the 2020 election was stolen. Hern joined 146 other House Republicans in voting against certifying the 2020 election, which could put off support from moderate Republicans.
“I have been humbled to have so many Members from across our Conference reach out to encourage me to seek the nomination for Speaker,” Johnson said in a"Dear Colleague" letter. “Until yesterday, I had never contacted one person about this, and I have never before aspired to the office.”Rep. Dan Meuser is running to become the next speaker. He has served in Congress since 2019.
