The House GOP released the Speaker selection schedule late Friday afternoon. The schedule release followed the House GOP Conference’s cancelation of Jordan’s Speakership bid via secret ballot.
So far, Byron Donalds, Kevin Hern, Austin Scott, Tom Emmer, Jack Bergman, and Pete Sessions have announced their runs for the Speakership. All candidates must file their paperwork by noon on Sunday. The candidate list is expected to grow much larger.
On Monday at 6:30 pm, there will be a Speaker Candidate forum at the Longworth House Office Building. This will be followed by a GOP Conference Speaker election early Tuesday morning. A floor vote for Speaker will be announced following Tuesday’s House GOP Conference election.
Removed Speaker Kevin McCarthy endorsed Tom Emmer Friday afternoon. Following McCarthy’s endorsement, Loomer shared a video of Emmer removing her from the NRCC Convention, writing, “.@GOPMajorityWhip Tom Emmer sucks just as much as
@SpeakerMcCarthy Kevin McCarthy. Emmer is McCarthy’s puppet at NRCC. When I confronted them both during their donor reception for the NRCC in Miami at the Ritz Carlton, they shouted me down and had me thrown out for asking why they were funding pro-impeachment, anti-Trump RINOS like
@Liz_Cheney.”
