The House majority whip was nominated for Speaker without the former president’s blessing. Getting to 217 sans a MAGA seal could be harder.
“ is now the Uniparty’s favored pick to become Speaker of the House even though he worked for a Soros group dedicated to getting rid of the Electoral College,” Loomer wrote, referencing Emmer’s work more than a decade ago for the National Popular Vote campaign. “President Trump doesn’t support Tom Emmer, and neither should you!!” Loomer wrote in another post shared by Trump. Loomer is one of many Trump allies who have denounced Emmer’s bid for Speaker.
And by Tuesday afternoon, the former president could no longer help but jump into the fray, taking to Truth Social to describe Emmer as a “Globalist RINO” whose potential Speakership would be a “tragic mistake.” Emmer has largely sought to burnish his MAGA bona fides via surrogates, who have noted his support for Trump in both of his presidential bids and the autographed photo of the two he keeps in his office.
