"House Speaker Race: Republicans Divided as Election Certification Vote Looms"

Nine Republicans are running for House speaker after Rep. Jim Jordan was dropped as the nominee. Only two of the candidates, Tom Emmer and Austin Scott, voted to certify the 2020 election. The remaining candidates, including Kevin Hern, Byron Donalds, Jack Bergman, Mike Johnson, Pete Sessions, Dan Meuser, and Gary Palmer, voted to overturn the election results. The division among Republicans raises questions about where their support will go in the speaker battle.
