The House Freedom Caucus is urging Republican leaders to remain in Washington until a new speaker is elected, adding that it must be someone not part of the swamp. <\/p>\n
The House Republican Conference must remain in Washington, D.C. until a new speaker of the House is elected. Republican leadership should have kept Republicans in Washington over [last] weekend, the group said in a statement. <\/p>\n
The group said the work is not done, adding that they are starting at ground zero after Rep. Jim Jordan, R- Ohio, removed himself from the race after failing to get enough votes. <\/p>\n
Jordan is now the third candidate to unsuccessfully run for the position after Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was pushed out in a historic vote. <\/p>\n
Nine candidates have since joined the race - Reps. Jack Bergman, Byron Donalds , Tom Emmer, Kevin Hern, Mike Johnson, Dan Meuser, Gary Palmer, Austin Scott, and Pete Sessions. <\/p>\n
