Gary Palmer withdrew his name from consideration for Speaker of the House Monday as Republicans met to decide on a new nominee.“Congress and the American people needed a Republican Speaker three weeks ago. If withdrawing my name can help expedite that process even a little, then I will gladly step aside,” Palmer wrote in a statement on X.
I will work with the next speaker on the ideas I have laid out so Congress can come together and do the job the American people sent us here to do.Rep.
