U.S. Reps. Jodey Arrington of Lubbock and Roger Williams of Willow Park will take the weekend to consider. Rep. Jim Jordan dropped out of race.
U.S. Rep. Roger Williams, speaking a Memorial Day service in Fort Worth, said he is condiering a run for House speaker.Two Texas Republicans are considering a run for U.S. House speaker, hoping to fill a power vacuum left open after Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio dropped out of the race Friday.
Jordan’s loss leaves no frontrunner candidate to unite the fractured Republican conference. Whoever does put their name up will need to convince a wide ideological spectrum of often antithetical viewpoints at a candidate forum at 6:30 Eastern time Monday. “Why would somebody run when we’ve witnessed this seemingly tragic process play out,” Arrington said. “But, you know, somebody’s got to run. We have to coalesce around somebody or we’re going to squander this historic opportunity.”Arrington said he has his family’s support, but needs to “talk as a Texas family” with the rest of the state’s Republicans.
“It would have to be the right circumstance for me with my family and my business and so forth,” Williams said.
