Here's the most recent info: "Republican Majority Whip Tom Emmer won a majority of votes in the GOP conference on Tuesday, becoming the party's newest nominee for speaker, three weeks after Rep. Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the position in a historic vote. Emmer's internal election victory, however, is only the start of what may still be a long process to get to 217 votes, the number necessary to win the speaker's gavel.

In the closed-door meeting, Emmer received 117 votes, to Johnson's 97, lawmakers said. All the voting was by secret ballot.

The party's decision to back Emmer came after weeks of infighting and two prior nominees, first, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, who withdrew a day later after he was unable to muster enough support to prevail on the floor, and then Jordan, who then failed to garner a majority of support on the House floor in three rounds of voting."

What are the Dems doing through all of this crap????
