MODERATORS
 

Rep. Tom Emmer has officially announced his intentions to become the next U.S. House speaker following the unprecedented removal of Rep. Kevin McCarthy earlier this month.

On Saturday morning, Emmer tweeted that he would be running for the position "to bring our conference together and get back to work."

Emmer went on to say that, in the last 10 months with a Republican majority in the House, "our Conference has shown what we can accomplish when we come together as a team. ... Our conference remains at a crossroads and the deck is stacked against us. We have no choice but to fight like hell to hold on to our House Majority and deliver on our conservative agenda."
