Banks made it clear that he would not vote for Emmer on the House floor, accusing the left-flank of \u200dthe conference \u2063of holding \u200cthe party hostage and betraying their promises to the American people.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve supported\u200b every Republican nominee to be Speaker of \u2063the House so \u2062far, \u2064but I will not vote for Tom \u2063Emmer on \u200dthe House floor,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cThe left-flank of\u2063 our conference\u2064 blocked Speaker-designee Jim Jordan then nominated the single most liberal member of leadership to continue business as usual in Washington.
