"House Speaker Race: Tom Emmer and the Trumpworld Problem"

Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., has been chosen as the third nominee for speaker by House Republicans. Emmer, currently serving as the House GOP Whip, faces challenges similar to previous candidates and it remains uncertain if the party will rally behind him. The House is unable to move legislation until a speaker is elected. Emmer's leadership position and experience may work in his favor, but he could face resistance from conservative hardliners. A Unity Pledge has been introduced, with all candidates signing it, urging colleagues to support the party nominee.
