Jim Jordan is also supporting Hensarling for Majority Leader, I wonder who the Labradour/Heulskamp/Jordan crowd will push for Whip.
I would imagine Scalise. He's the lunatic among him and Roskam and Scalise has a huge advantage here given about 75% of House Republicans are in Scalise's caucus. I've heard Labrador hates that Scalise is too open-minded, but still well-liked enough among everyone else.
More and more intra-party fighting here is going to be awesome though plus I'm glad Sessions opted out of House Majority Whip so him and Scalise don't split the right-wing crazy vote within the House GOP. Establishment will of course back McCarthy for the basis of order of succession and Cantor might even get some votes to. Then the Tea Party has Sessions (though I would have loved Gohmert, Blackburn, Huelskamp or Labrador, but wishful thinking), and considering Sessions strong record as NRCC Leader wherein he brought the GOP 63 seats and the majority and his close friendship with the moderate Greg Walden and a few other GOP leaders, I'd say he has a pretty good chance.
Whatever happens here will be a reflection of what we could possibly see in January. If Sessions gets enough support or even beats McCarthy, Boehner
will be in trouble, no doubt. Hopefully, the Tea Party wing makes this one count.
