Who is Jason Chaffetz, the Republican running for House speaker?
Chaffetz, 48, declared himself a speaker candidate on Sunday, upending a race that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) was expected to win easily. While few believe Chaffetz will win the gavel, it’s possible he could peel away enough votes to create problems for McCarthy on the House floor when members vote at the end of October.
