David Joyce, R-Ohio, right, confer as lawmakers convene to hold a third ballot to elect a speaker of the House on Friday.House Republicans have chosen Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., to be their third nominee for speaker in as many weeks.
Majority Leader Steve Scalise and House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan were both named the party's nominee, but pulled their candidacies after they failed to secure enough support to succeed on the floor. Scalise withdrew before trying on the floor and Jordan failed on three ballots by the full House.
Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., said he would"enthusiastically" support Emmer after opposing Jordan's nomination. But he said the conference remains a"fractured lot," and was not convinced that Emmer could shore up the necessary support.
