Republicans believe they’ve found a speaker who can overcome the weeks of division bred by Rep. Kevin McCarthy's dramatic ouster from House leadership.
Republicans have projected false confidence before. Emmer predicted in no uncertain terms that Rep. Jim Jordan , chairman of the Judiciary Committee, would become speaker days before the conference withdrew his nomination. A note of optimism from rank-and-file members similarly preceded Emmer's own failed bid.
"Democracy is messy sometimes, but it is our system," said Johnson in his first remarks as the speaker designate."This conference that you see, this House Republican majority, is united.” “Everybody likes the guy,” said Rep. Vern Buchanan , who helped block Jordan on the House floor. “There's nothing negative about him in my mind. Nobody's perfect. But he's pretty close.”
"You go through difficult times together, a painful process together, and you have the potential to come out of something like that stronger, healthier, closer," said Rep. Bob Good , one of eight Republicans to depose McCarthy earlier this month.
