Out of the nine Republicans running, only two voted to certify the results of the 2020 election (Emmer and Scott), and only two have been in Congress for over a decade (Sessions and Scott).
Notably, all nine are members of the conservative Republican Study Committee — one of five of the GOP’s ideological caucuses and, historically, the largest.
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), the House majority whip, ... is the highest-ranking Republican among the list of official candidates
Emmer, 62, has already received the support of former speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).
But right-wing outlets and allies of former president Donald Trump are urging Republicans not to elect Emmer, who voted to certify the results of the 2020 election for Joe Biden.
Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.), who chairs the conservative Republican Study Committee,...
Hern, 61, a businessman who owned a number of McDonald’s franchises in Oklahoma, ... voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Tex.), who previously chaired the House Rules Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee, ...
Sessions, 68, who has served 11 terms in the House, [voted against certifying the 2020 election]
Rep. Austin Scott (R-Ga.) emerged as a surprise speaker candidate last week when he ran against Jordan ...
Scott, 53, a businessman, has served in the House since 2011. He did not object to the certification of the results of the 2020 presidential election and was part of a group of Republicans who, in a letter to congressional leaders, said lawmakers did not have the power to overturn the results of the election.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) is a relative newcomer to Congress but, in just two terms, he has become a relevant figure in the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus.
A staunch Trump ally, Donalds voted against the certification of the 2020 election and has repeatedly falsely claimed that Biden is not the legitimate president.
Rep. Jack Bergman (R-Mich.), a retired U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant general, ... chairs the House Armed Services subcommittee on intelligence and special operations ... He objected to the certification of the results of the 2020 election.
Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) ... an attorney and former radio host, ... is a close Trump ally, having served in the former president’s legal defense team during his two impeachment trials in the Senate. Johnson has also contested the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.), ... was one of over 120 House Republicans who in December 2020 signed an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit that would have invalidated the results of the 2020 election in four states, including his home state.
Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Ala.)... voted against certifying the results of the 2020 election and was also one of over 120 House Republicans who in December 2020 signed an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit that would have invalidated the results of the 2020 election in four states.
