(CNSNews.com) - Following House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R.-Calif.) surprise announcement today that he was withdrawing from the contest to become the next speaker of the House, incumbent House Speaker John Boehner (R.-Ohio) issued a statement saying that he would remain as speaker until a new speaker is elected.
Boehner indicated that he was “confident” that would be “in the coming weeks.”
However, Boehner did not announce a date on which the House would hold a vote to elect a new speaker.
“After Leader McCarthy’s announcement, members of the House Republican Conference will not vote today for a new cpeaker,” said Boehner. As I have said previously, I will serve as Speaker until the House votes to elect a new Speaker.
“We will announce the date for this election at a later date, and I’m confident we will elect a new speaker in the coming weeks,” said Boehner.

Boehner’s mental health should be a concern here.

Just when you think the loser is finally gone he hangs on for another round of the destruction of America and the mindless advancement of the Banana Republicans for their crony donators.
Can't somebody slip something stronger in his quart-sized martini glass and carry him out the side door just one last time and dump him on some 1st tee someplace, anyplace? Please??
If he stays on, he can help cement The Agenda. That’s worth a lot of $$$$$$$ to a lot of people.
Quit today, you loser.
You’d think that promise (threat) would light a fire under some rear ends.
What a Banana Republic...FURIOUS at these REPUBLICANS!!! FURIOUS!!!!!
Okay, vote tomorrow and get orange julius out on his crying ass.
It needs to be made very clear to Boehner that he announced he would leave the Speaker chair and his seat at the end of October, 2015.
Good grief! Don’t let ‘em just appoint another Denny Hastert “placeholder” till after the 2016 election!! We need someone more brilliant and way less “GREEN” than Newt Gingrinch that will literally “clean house” and put real muscle on the miserable Senate majority leader (so-called)!!!
{”It needs to be made very clear to Boehner that he announced he would leave the Speaker chair and his seat at the end of October, 2015.”}
Boehner has grown frightfully used to not keeping promises. Why start now.
When will these politicians actually say the truth for a change.
{”When will these politicians actually say the truth for a change.”}
You might be expecting too much.
After all, hell has not frozen over yet.
“I could see the RINOs and “conservatives” having enough power to block each others candidates. Where would a compromise candidate come from.”
Maybe a compromise between an establishment squish (conservative ranking circa 46%) and a conservative (conservative ranking circa 92%), thus settling for someone in the middle (conservative ranking circa 69%)?
I do believe there were (2) Candidates in the room and everyone was ready to Vote when he announced this.
(Guess the #2 makes him Cry so he is in search for a third Candidate)
