Rep. Austin Scott received the fewest votes in the third round of voting for House speaker and has been removed from the race according to conference rules.
None of the four remaining candidates for speaker received a majority of the vote, though Majority Whip Tom Emmer received a plurality, meaning the election will advance to a fourth round. Rep. Gary Palmer , one of eight candidates heading into Tuesday, dropped out of the race shortly before voting began.Emmer received the most votes, getting 100, while Rep. Mike Johnson received 43, Rep. Byron Donalds received 32, Rep. Kevin Hern received 26, and Scott received 12.
The third nominee, like those before him, only needs a majority of those voting in Tuesday's election to become the next speaker designate. The real challenge will be corralling 217 votes, a majority of the entire chamber, on the House floor.
