Republican Texas Congressman Pete Sessions was the first loser to be dropped from the field of seven candidates running for the GOP’s House speaker nomination on Tuesday, CNN’s Manu Raju reports adding that House Whip Tom Emmer came in first with 70-ish votes followed by Louisiana Congressman Mike Johnson in second. Earlier on Tuesday backbencher Gary Palmer dropped out before the vote even started as did Pennsylvanian Dan Meuser on Monday night.
Tom Emmer might be screwed on the floor if he wins as Georgia MAGA Congressman Rick Allen said he’s not going to support Emmer because he voted in favor of protecting gay marriage, lol.
