🇺🇸 Crypto ally Tom Emmer elected House GOP minority whip
Pro-crypto U.S. Rep. Tom Emmer has been elected House Republican minority whip, the party's No. 2 leadership post, as Democrats prepare to take control of Congress in January. Emmer defeated Texas Rep. August Pfluger in a 103-76 secret ballot, according to Politico. He previously served as majority whip and will remain the party's No. 2, this time under incoming Minority Leader Jim Jordan.
Emmer helped launch the bipartisan Congressional Crypto Caucus with Rep. Ritchie Torres in March 2025, is an original cosponsor of the CLARITY Act, and introduced the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act, which seeks to clarify that blockchain developers and infrastructure providers who do not control customer funds are not money transmitters under federal law.
⭐ A leading crypto voice will keep organizing House Republican votes, even as the party heads into the minority.
