Crypto ally Tom Emmer elected House GOP minority whip after midterms

Republican Tom Emmer of Minnesota, a prominent crypto advocate who helped found the Congressional Crypto Caucus, has been elected House GOP minority whip. He keeps the role after Democrats won the midterms, leaving Republicans in the minority. A crypto-friendly lawmaker in a senior leadership post could keep digital-asset issues on the party's agenda, though minority status limits what Republicans can pass.
