Boehner To Run If Election Is Set

January 7, 2006 | 1:18 PM |

We hear that Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) this afternoon will consult with his supporters and is on the verge of announcing that he'll run for Maj. Leader if Speaker Hastert sets an election.

We asked Kevin Smith, Boehner's spokesman, to comment:

"Congressman Boehner won't have any official announcement about leadership intentions until he has spoken with both Rep. DeLay and Speaker Hastert."
