“Now I will be praying for those who find it acceptable to bear false witness”, she said.

“He’ll come in front of our group and talk to us, I think our group would be favorable towards him, but we’re not there yet”, added Jordan, whose caucus was widely credited with the chaos that ultimately toppled current House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and crushed McCarthy’s front-runner candidacy for the position.
Paul Ryan insists he won’t take the Speaker of the House job. Mr. Ryan has said he isn’t interested, but conservatives like Mr. Rothfus are hoping he rethinks that over the next week when Congress is in recess. He is someone who could be seen as acceptable to the right of the party, and although likely better than Chaffetz, may have a hard time with the more mainstream Republicans, even though there may only be a small number left in the lower chamber.
Stewart and Rep. Mia Love, R-Utah, had pledged to support Chaffetz but said Thursday they wanted to see what happens with the race.
“But honestly, the more effective the House is by improving the process the more influential the speaker will become outside of the Capitol and when bringing your message to the White House, to the media or to the American public”. “There’s probably other people in our conference who could unite us”.
“Well, I think he’s somebody that probably that could get good support”, he said. The chair of the House Ways and Means Committee and former vice presidential candidate initially said he would not run for the position, but is now reconsidering.
Ryan, however, has said he does not want the job and even endorsed House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who until recently was the favorite to replace Boehner. I think he doesn’t want it very badly, but you never know. Because with his budgets and articulation of a conservative message, he has the credibility among establishment and conservative Republicans.
One of Webster’s most popular reforms was ending all meetings and business by 6 p.m. each day, a promise he’s also making to members of Congress. According to several reports, though, Boehner called Ryan after the announcement to ask him to run.
“I actually feel pretty good about this race because I’ve got confidence in Wisconsinites valuing people of integrity”, Johnson said.
Issa, who is also among the wealthiest members of Congress with a net worth of $350 million or so, failed miserably in his last leadership bid in 2006, when he ran for the No. 5 post for House Republicans.

Through all those moves, factions from the tea party and freedom caucus have remained with their midweek decision to support U.S. Rep. Daniel Webster, of Florida. “It’s easy to get to 218 on the first vote”, said Gingrich on “Fox News Sunday”, before listing off a series of bills the House must resolve before December. “I’ve earned that reputation over six and a half years“, he said.
