Who is House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Vying for Speaker's Gavel?

The race against time to elect a House speaker has been on ever since US Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted from the job over two weeks ago after fellow Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) filed a motion to vacate the position. Since then, the speakership battle has raged, with Rep. Jim Jordan the latest to drop out of the fray on Friday.
