Tom Emmer drops out of Speaker race before vote
Republican Tom Emmer has dropped out of The Race to become Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Only hours after being nominated.
He is the third nominee to fail to secure enough support from his own party members to lead The Chamber .
Mr Emmer, from Minnesota, emerged as The Party 's pick in a series of secret internal ballots earlier on Tuesday.
But More Than 20 Republican representatives - and Donald Trump - Said that they wouldn't support him.
The House has been without a Speaker and has been unable to pass bills since Kevin McCarthy of California was ousted on 3 October.
Mr Emmer's decision to drop out of The Race puts Republicans back at the start of a quest they have So Far struggled to complete - finding a candidate that can win the support of almost all of The Party 's representatives.
Republicans Only hold a narrow majority over Democrats in the lower chamber of Congress, so their nominee can Only afford to lose a handful of votes from their own side to win.
Earlier, Republican nominees Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Jim Jordan of Ohio both failed to gather enough support to replace Mr McCarthy.
Now the same has happened to Mr Emmer, who earlier survived successive rounds of voting by Republican lawmakers that whittled down eight candidates in this latest Round One by one.
Mr Emmer defeated Mike Johnson of Louisiana but opposition to his nomination became almost immediately apparent.
Former President Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform shortly after to call him a " Rino" - Republican In Name Only - who " never respected The Power of a Trump endorsement or the breadth and scope of Maga - Make America Great Again".
Mr Trump added that he believed it would be " a tragic mistake" for Republicans to back Mr Emmer.
Speaking to reporters following Mr Emmer's withdrawal, Georgia Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene Said that she was unable to support him as a result of policy disagreements, including over a same-sex marriage bill.
She added that the eventual Speaker nomination should reflect the " will of Republican voters" who " overwhelmingly support President Trump ".
