CNN reports this today, October 24.
However, it remains to be seen whether he will have the necessary votes in the House of Representatives to become speaker. It is noted that during the consideration of Emmer’s candidacy at the meeting of the Republican Party faction, there were about 10 votes against, while Emmer can only afford to lose four.
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said he will do everything possible to ensure Emmer gets the 217 votes needed to be elected.
On the website of the Republicans for Ukraine organization, Emmer’s support for Kyiv is assessed as a maximum positive score of “A”. He was pro-Ukrainian, declared and voted for all initiatives to support Ukraine, and also voted against its reduction.
