Responding to the press, Republican Party representative Peter King said that it is likely that California state representative Kevin Mc Carthy, the second most powerful figure in the House of Representatives, will be the leading candidate to replace Mr. Boener.

The resignation announcement of Mr. Boener, 65 years old, was made in the context of the US preparing for the presidential election, scheduled to take place in November next year./.
