Tom Emmer drops out of contention for House speaker, hours after winning GOP nomination

Republican Tom Emmer has withdrawn from the race for Speaker of the US House of Representatives, leaving Republicans without a clear candidate.

The House has been leaderless for three weeks, leaving Congress unable to pass legislation and respond to President Biden's calls for assistance.
