Minnesota delegates react

“You have your voters, your constituents, people looking for leadership. The more they see this lack of a focus and a direction, it’s just like a business, shareholders and investors, get very nervous when business is like that. They want strong leadership. They want a plan. I think that’s what everyone’s demanding … and right now this type of thing doesn’t help that.”

Rep. Tom Emmer, Sixth District Republican

 

“It’s nothing to panic about. We still have a speaker, we still have a leader and we have some big stuff to do in the next few weeks and months ahead. It will sort itself out.”

Republican Rep. Erik Paulsen, who is a close friend of McCarthy

 

“Congressman Kline is confident House Republicans will select someone who can do what’s best for our country and this institution.”
