Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.), a former chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, is weighing a protest run against McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>Biggs told reporters Monday afternoon that no one currently has 218 votes to be Speaker. His spokesman told The Hill there will be an alternative challenger to McCarthy but did not confirm it would be Biggs.<\/p>\n<p>A handful of moderate House Republicans could join Democrats to support a compromise Speaker candidate such as Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), Greene warned Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s very, very risky right now to produce a leadership challenge, especially for Speaker of the House, when they are going to open the door and allow Liz Cheney, possibly, to become Speaker,\u201d Greene said on the podcast.<\/p>\n<p>Cheney will not return to Congress next year, but House rules allow for a nonmember to be elected Speaker. Such a scenario, though, is not considered serious, and she is not campaigning for the post.<\/p>\n<p>Greene last year doubted McCarthy would have the votes to be Speaker but has since grown close with the GOP leader. She was included at a House GOP platform event in Pennsylvania in September, and she is hoping to be placed on the House Oversight and Reform Committee after McCarthy vowed to restore her membership in committees as Speaker.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>\u201cI think that to be the best Speaker of the House and to please the base, he\u2019s going to give me a lot of power and a lot of leeway,\u201d Greene said in a\u00a0New York Times magazine profile\u00a0published last month.<\/p>\n<p>House Republicans are scheduled to elect conference leaders on Tuesday, which includes nominating a Speaker candidate. The nominee needs a majority of House Republicans in a secret ballot to get the nomination and then a majority \u2014 at least 218 votes in a fully sworn-in chamber \u2014\u00a0on the House floor to win the Speakership on the first day of the new Congress in January.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative members of the House, including multiple members of the House Freedom Caucus, have withheld support for McCarthy over his resistance to rules change demands from the caucus that would chip away at leadership\u2019s power.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Biggs told reporters last week that McCarthy\u2019s reluctance to bring up impeachment articles \u2014 he has said multiple times that he would not pursue a \u201cpolitical\u201d impeachment \u2014 made him question whether McCarthy should be Speaker.<\/p>\n<p>The Arizona congressman has introduced impeachment articles against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that his statement recently that we shouldn\u2019t impeach Secretary Mayorkas indicates maybe we\u2019re not gonna be as aggressive going forward as we should be,\u201d Biggs told reporters last week.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
