Texas Reps. Jodey Arrington and Pete Sessions Vie for U.S. House Speaker Position

Three Texas Republicans, Jodey Arrington, Pete Sessions, and Roger Williams, are considering running for U.S. House Speaker after Rep. Jim Jordan dropped out of the race. Arrington and Williams are consulting with their families before making a definitive decision, while Sessions has already announced his candidacy. The House has been without a speaker for over two weeks, causing legislative paralysis. Other potential candidates include House Majority Whip Tom Emmer. The candidates will need to convince a wide ideological spectrum at a candidate forum on Monday.
