The firebrand reportedly asked each contender if they had “the balls” to hold Joe Biden “accountable,” making clear that she wants the next House leader to turn the gavel into a cudgel.
Greene likely doesn’t need to worry about the candidates’ commitment to hardline political games: All but two in the running voted against certifying the 2020 election, and one of those who did rubber-stamp it—Tom Emmer, the frontrunner du jour—has seemingly spent the last few days trying to make amends with the far-right for it. But her ultimatum is yet another reminder of who’s calling the shots right now in the GOP.
But there are, of course, degrees of derangement: While Emmer, currently the majority whip, signed onto a lawsuit seeking to invalidate Biden’s 2020 election win, he ultimately voted to certify it. That has made him a target of Trump allies, who have spent the last few days trashing his speaker bid. “He’s openly hostile to Trump, which isn’t helpful since Trump will be the nominee,” as one anti-Emmer Republican put it to Politico yesterday.
