Republicans have selected Tom Emmer as their speaker nominee.
00:03
I know you've said very often that the White House
00:05
does not have a vote in this.
00:06
No, I'm sure.
00:07
[LAUGHTER]
00:08
--in this process.
00:09
But Emmer has been one of the more supportive Republicans
00:13
for Ukraine aid across the board.
00:15
Do you see that as a positive signal?
00:16
I'm just not going to speak to their process.
00:18
I'm sure there's more steps to go, right,
00:21
before we get to the end here.
00:22
I think it's important and critical
00:25
that the Republicans in the conference
00:28
get their act together, get their business in order,
00:31
and figure out who's going to lead not just the conference,
00:34
obviously, since they have the majority in the House,
00:37
have a speaker for the House.
00:39
Just not going to get into it.
00:40
I have said just moments ago, we have
00:42
seen bipartisan support for the supplemental package
00:46
that the president announced last week,
00:49
that we announced that we spoke to last week.
00:51
And so we believe that Congress should move forward with that.
00:54
As it relates to their process and finding a speaker,
00:57
that is up to them.
00:59
We do not, as the president has said himself, just quoting him,
01:02
we do not have a vote in that space.
