Republican Oklahoma Rep. Kevin Hern announced that he will not be running for speaker of the House on Saturday.
The House voted to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy as speaker of the House Tuesday after eight House Republicans joined 208 with Democrats, which was initiated by Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz. Hern previously received support from several Republicans in January during the speakership elections and considered running again now that the seat is vacant, but after consulting with all the members of the House Republican Conference, Hern has decided not to run for speaker of the House, according to a Dear Colleague letter.
