Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn. as another speaker nominee to bring to the House floor. But just hours later, Emmer withdrew from the battle for the speakership.
The House is in its 21st day without a speaker – officially entering its third week without a formal leader as chaos continues to roil the lower chamber.
House Republicans huddled behind closed doors on Tuesday and selected House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn. as another speaker nominee to bring to the House floor. But just hours later, Emmer withdrew from the battle for the speakership.
All it takes for a candidate to win the GOP nomination is a simple majority of the conference, but the real question for any speaker nominee is whether they can get the near-unanimous support they need from House Republicans to be elected speaker.

I suspect these people are being arrested behind closed doors.
I will check RRN for updates.
