Potential candidates include Reps. Lisa McClain (R-MI), Kat\u200d Cammack \u2063(R-FL), and House GOP Vice Chairman Blake Moore (R-UT),\u2064 who have\u2063 started \u2063networking to gauge support for the role. Rep. Ashley Hinson\u2062 (R-IA), initially viewed as a frontrunner, has opted out of \u2064the race to focus on her responsibilities in Iowa. The \u200dcompetition intensified following Donald \u200dTrump&#8217;s nomination of Stefanik to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, prompting other lawmakers to prepare for their bids ahead of the announcement deadline.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Stefanik UN nomination sets off scramble for No. 4 leadership post<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1878798\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Several House Republicans have already begun competing for GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik&rsquo;s (R-NY) leadership post when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3225555\/stefanik-accepts-offer-ambassador-united-nations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">she steps down<\/a> from her seat next year to accept an ambassadorship in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3085386\/trumps-vp-short-list-glimpse-future-cabinet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Trump administration<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>At least three GOP lawmakers have begun fielding calls to their colleagues to gauge support for the party&rsquo;s No. 4 position in the House, including Reps.
