In the aftermath of U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., ending his bid as speaker of the U.S. House, U.S. Rep. Curt Clawson, R-Fla., is once again looking for an outsider to lead the chamber. 

While they did not support U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, R-Fla., when he challenged U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, at the start of the year, two Florida Republicans are trumpeting their support for him as he tries again. 

U.S. Rep. Dan Webster, R-Fla., sounded an upbeat note on Thursday afternoon after U.S. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., ended his bid to become House speaker.

On Friday, state Rep. Blaise Ingoglia, R-Spring Hill, the chairman of the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF), announced two more presidential candidates -- U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and businesswoman Carly Fiorina -- will attend the RPOF’s Sunshine Summit in Orlando next month. 

When U.S. Rep. Dan Webster looked to unseat House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, earlier this year, the Florida congressman could reel in only 12 votes. Now, as he looks to replace Boehner, Webster has a far stronger hand. 

As U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., ended his bid to replace outgoing U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Thursday, a congressman from the Sunshine State offered a few paths forward after the GOP caucus postponed voting for a new speaker. 

President Barack Obama and Gov. Rick Scott are upside down in Florida but the Sunshine State’s two U.S. senators are keeping their necks above water. 

Qunnipiac University released a poll early Thursday showing what Florida voters think of their political leaders. 

With more than a year to go in the race to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., around a third of Florida voters remain undecided between some of the candidates. Rubio is currently running for the Republican presidential nomination and has said he will not run for a second term in the Senate. 

A new poll shows Floridians support medical marijuana options but are far more divided when it comes to legalizing it for personal use, with major divisions between the sexes and age groups. 

One of the leading conservatives in Congress and the wife of a presidential candidate will hit the Sunshine State this week as the Florida Federation of Republican Women (FFRW) holds its annual meeting in Orlando. The event will also feature a forum with candidates hoping to replace U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., in 2016.
