Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is planning to run for the House speaker post, according to Politico.
The chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will challenge House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for the post, sources told Politico.
McCarthy is the favorite to replace outgoing House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), but has come under increased scrutiny from members of the party after praising the Select Committee on Benghazi for hurting Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton's poll numbers.
