Following New York GOP Rep. Elise Stefanik’s appointment to be U.N. Ambassador, Republicans have been scrambling to pick a replacement for her as the chair of the House GOP conference.
President-elect Donald Trump recently announced that he was appointing Stefanik as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, calling her an “America First fighter.”
Reps. Lisa McClain, R-Mich., and Kat Cammack, R-Fla., are both running for the position, according to The Hill.
Stefanik became the GOP conference chairwoman in 2021 after Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., was ousted from the position.
Internal leadership elections for the position will take place on Wednesday, according to the outlet. Current House GOP Vice Chair, Blake Moore, R-Utah, is also reportedly interested in the position.
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., has hinted about potentially running for chair on the social media platform, X. Another name in the mix is Florida Rep. Byron Donalds, according to the outlet.
As of now, the House is expected to keep a slim majority as some races around the U.S. still have not been called.
