Republican speaker candidate Byron Donalds: we're going to get it done 'pretty quickly'

Congress must get its act together and prevent a government shutdown — or recession is on its way‘McCongressman’ Kevin Hern delivers cheeseburgers to colleagues in bid for House speakership

The conference’s latest candidate forum comes 20 days after former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s ouster and in the wake of the doomed speakership nominations of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan . “We’re bigger than this,” he said. “We’re bigger than these grievances that have been going on for a long time.

Rep. Eli Crane , who was one of the eight House Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to depose McCarthy, said he wants “the most conservative” candidate to get the gavel, but like Molinaro and others, wouldn’t say who he was backing. “Since his election to Congress, Byron has been a true conservative champion for the Sunshine State and the nation,” Cammack tweeted. “He is a fighter who listens to the American people. He has what it takes to get us back to work and continue the business we were sent here to do.”

“There’s only one person that can do it all the way,” Trump said in New Hampshire. “You know who that is? Jesus Christ. If Jesus came down and said ‘I want to be Speaker’ He would do it. Other than that, I haven’t seen anybody who can guarantee it.” Meanwhile, the group found Bergman to have the least limited government record, voting to ”restrain government growth only 51.61% of the time.”

The GOP is facing mounting pressure from the Senate, White House — and American public — to resolve the crisis.
