According to Politico, Minnesota Republican congressman Tom Emmer was elected House Republican whip after the midterm elections, securing the party's second-highest leadership position with a 103-76 vote over Texas congressman August Pfluger. Emmer, who previously served as House Republican majority whip, will serve as the number-two position under incoming minority leader Jim Jordan. As a prominent digital asset advocate in Congress, Emmer has co-founded a bipartisan Congressional Crypto Caucus in March 2025 and co-sponsored the CLARITY Act, which seeks to exclude blockchain developers and infrastructure providers that do not control customer funds from federal money transmission regulations.
