Kevin Hern, a Republican Representative from Oklahoma, has announced that he will not be running for Speaker of the House. Hern's decision is seen as an opportunity for other candidates, such as Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise, to gain support. Although Hern had considered a bid for the position, he never formally announced his candidacy. This development leaves the race for Speaker of the House more open.
