Former President Donald Trump told allies in private conversations on Friday that he does not support House Majority Whip Tom Emmer for speaker, according to Politico.
Trump allies are reportedly circulating opposition research on Emmer, and senior Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn told the "War Room" podcast on Friday that Emmer had not yet endorsed Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential primary. Jumping on the Emmer-bashing bandwagon, "War Room" host and former Trump White House adviser Steve Bannon claimed that Emmer is a "Trump hater."
Trump also pointed to reports that Emmer, as chair of the House Republican campaign organization, advised GOP candidates to avoid using Trump's name.
