Vote on House floor could come Wednesday
House Republicans on Tuesday night voted for Rep. Mike Johnson to become their latest nominee for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, with the Louisiana congressman’s selection capping a tumultuous day in which Rep. Tom Emmer was briefly the nominee.
The GOP-run House wasn’t due to hold a floor vote on the speaker position on Tuesday night, but the chamber could do that Wednesday. It has been three weeks since the historic ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican.
