House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) has been elected as the Republicans' nominee for Speaker of the House, becoming the party's fourth Speaker nominee this Congress. Emmer beat out eight other candidates to become the third speaker-designate after receiving a majority of the votes. However, he now faces the challenge of garnering the 217 votes needed on the House floor. This is the third attempt by Republicans to fill the leadership vacancy that has paralyzed lawmakers since Kevin McCarthy's ouster on October 3.
