Tom Emmer Wins a Key House GOP Leadership Battle, Becomes House Minority Whip in the Next Congress

EXCERPT:

PERGRAM: “Tom Emmer is the one person of the existing leadership team who will continue to serve. You know, he's been the Majority Whip. He'll be the Minority Whip right now. You know, you go from three leadership positions in the majority to just two. It's kind of like musical chairs here. And he had a challenge from August Pfluger, who was the Republican representative from Texas. The vote here a little bit different than the vote on Jordan, Jim Jordan being elected the minority leader. That vote was 106-73. For Emmer, the vote was 103-76.”
