Conservative firebrand Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) told The Hill that he might run for president in 2016.
Gohmert indicated he might launch an exploratory committee for president when originally asked if he would support Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) White House bid.
"Ted is a good friend and would be an outstanding President; however, I haven't ruled out an exploratory committee myself," Gohmert said in a statement to The Hill.
Gohmert launched long-shot bids for Speaker in January and for chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a group of House conservatives.
But the Texas Republican accrued just three votes during the Speaker election — from himself as well as Reps. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.) and Randy Weber (R-Texas).
Gohmert is a frequent guest on Fox News and is known around the Capitol for his lengthy, extemporaneous speeches to a usually empty House chamber on weekly basis. He logged themost speaking time on the House floor last year out of any other lawmaker: a whopping 29 hours.
Gohmert's 29 hours of floor time last year far outstripped the runner-up, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), who spoke just 10 hours.
The topics of Gohmert's floor speeches vary, though they frequently touch upon Middle East foreign policy, President Obama's Justice Department, and illegal immigration. He occasionally employsunusual visuals, such as posters depicting crucifixions while discussing persecutions of Christians.
