House Republican Conference Chair Elise Stefanik on Sunday announced in a post to X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, that nine candidates have joined the race for speaker after Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, dropped his bid last week. Stefanik noted the deadline to announce a speaker bid was at noon E.T. Sunday. The GOP candidate forum is set to be held at 6:30 p.m. ET Monday. Then, an internal conference vote will occur 9 a.m. Tuesday.
“My sole focus will be securing our border, funding our government responsibly, advancing a conservative vision for the House of Representatives and the American people, and expanding our Republican majority,” Donalds said in his announcement. Donalds, who makes frequent appearances on right-wing media, was nominated for speaker by his conservative Freedom Caucus colleagues in January.
