: Among the nine Republicans vying to fill the US Congress House speaker job that’s been vacant for nearly three weeks, the only Texan candidate is Representative Pete Sessions, reported German news agency .
Sessions, 68, is in his 13th term. He declared his candidacy Friday, shortly after House Republicans ditched Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan after he lost three floor votes with ebbing internal support.“The American people are weary of our dysfunction,“ Arrington said in a statement. “This is probably one of the most embarrassing things I’ve seen,“ House Foreign Affairs chairman Michael McCaul, Republican from Austin, Texas, said Sunday on ABC News’s This Week.
