NNPA NEWSWIRE — A long and turbulent journey, which has lingered and prevented America from aiding its Israeli and Ukraine allies, saw Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., become the party’s fourth nominee since the MAGA wing of the caucus ousted McCarthy. On Tuesday morning, Republicans initially selected Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Minn., as their nominee, only for him to withdraw later in the day, unable to muster the 217 votes required to secure the position.
