Republicans wonder who will fill Ryan’s shoes
Ryan was a rather reluctant Trump supporter. What will the next one be like? What do you think?

House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., is regarded as the logical choice. He is close to Trump, having courted the president longer than most other high-profile Republicans. The two get along well and
talk often.
But the Californian has historically been viewed suspiciously by the most conservative members of Congress.
