Gohmert Will Challenge Boehner for Speaker

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX)announced morning that he will challenge House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to be the leader of the House Republicans, the Texas Tribune reports.

“Gohmert is, for now, likely a long-shot threat to Boehner. But two years ago, Boehner won re-election as speaker by one of the narrowest margins in modern history, thanks to a band of rebellious House Republicans.”
