House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of Calif., left, accompanied by outgoing House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, center, and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of La. speaks during a new conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2015.

That leaves the California Republican the heavy favorite when GOP lawmakers choose their candidate to replace outgoing Speaker John Boehner on Thursday. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci)
