WASHINGTON, DC (WTAQ-WRN) – There’s a new crop of candidates for Speaker of the House.
Wisconsin 6th District Republican Glenn Grothman sets the scene for this evening
“All the Republicans in the House of Representatives are going to get together. We’re going to hear nominating speeches from whoever declares and wants to be speaker at that time. And then we’ll have a variety of votes.”
There are nine declared candidates, and Grothman prefers two
“Well I’ll support whoever winds up winning on the floor. The two I think are most qualified to those running are Tom Emmer from Minnesota and Mike Johnson from Louisiana.”
A vote on a finalist could come as soon as Tuesday morning.
The Speaker’s chair has now been empty for more than two weeks, bringing the work of the House to a halt.
