This is a gift link, so should work for everyone.

Representative Tom Emmer of Minnesota, the No. 3 House Republican, dropped his bid for speaker on Tuesday hours after securing his divided party’s nomination, after a swift backlash from the right, including former President Donald J. Trump, left his candidacy in shambles.

Guy lasted like 4hrs as the nominee. Didn't even get a vote on the House floor before dropping out.

23 days til the government shuts down.
