Crypto-friendly Rep. Emmer won nomination for the U.S. House Speaker, but still will have to garner enough votes on the House floor.
Crypto-friendly Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., won nomination for the U.S. House Speaker, but will still have to garner enough votes on the House floor to solidify his position.
After multiple rounds of voting on Tuesday, House Republicans ultimately pushed Emmer forward. The Minnesota Republican will next have to secure at least 217 Republican votes on the House floor to be officially elected, according to news reports. Emmer's try for speaker comes after bids from Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Steve Scalise, R-La., failed to get the needed votes over the past few weeks.
