The GOP's House Speaker race is in turmoil with nine contenders, including Tom Emmer, who is supported by Kevin McCarthy but faces opposition from Donald Trump. The 'Unity Pledge' is being promoted to unite the party behind the final nominee. The deadlock has led to a legislative backlog and potential public humiliation for candidates. Trump's active role in the race and the candidates' pitches, including Emmer's crypto-friendly stance, are adding more dynamics to the already complex situation.
