Former President Donald Trump came out on Oct. 24 against House Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s (R-Minn.) bid for House speaker—after having said he would not get involved in the race to be second in line to the presidency.
In a post on his social media site, Truth Social, President Trump objected to Mr. Emmer becoming the speaker-designee.
