Who Will Be the Next Speaker of the House?

    Who will become the next Speaker of the House? The race is officially underway.

    FOX News Radio’s Jared Halpern has more from the Capitol:

    The current number two House Republican, GOP leader Kevin McCarthy has front-runner status after officially telling colleagues he’s putting himself up to replace outgoing Speaker of the House John Boehner.

    (McCarthy) “It’s a time to change the culture, you know, I’m sensitive to what I’m hearing outside the Beltway.”

    McCarthy on Fox News Channel’s Special Report says he’ll unite House Republicans.

    Boehner’s retirement comes amid grown frustration from Conservatives.

    Florida Republican Daniel Webster, who challenged Boehner earlier this year, has said he’ll again run for Speaker.

    At the Capitol, Jared Halpern, FOX News Radio.
