Just hours after Emmer won the speaker nomination, Trump posted to Truth Social and may have ended his chances immediately.
I have many wonderful friends wanting to be Speaker of the House, and some are truly great Warriors,” Trump said. “RINO Tom Emmer, who I do not know well, is not one of them. He never respected the Power of a Trump Endorsement, or the breadth and scope of MAGA-MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! He fought me all the way, and actually spent more time defending lIhan Omar, than he did me- -He is totally out-of-touch with Republican Voters.
Trump continued that he believes Emmer has “now learned his lesson, because he is saying that he is Pro-Trump all the way, but who can ever be sure?” “Has he only changed because that's what it takes to win? The Republican Party cannot take that chance, because that's not where the America First Voters are. Voting for a Globalist RINO like Tom Emmer would be a tragic mistake!” Trump said.
Emmer already faced an uphill climb getting 217 GOP votes on the floor, after several rounds of ballots Tuesday morning left him with a narrow victory for the conference’s nomination. But the combination of Republicans already coming out against Emmer, coupled with Trump’s blistering takedown, may leave the House GOP once again short of the votes on the floor.
