ryan held a closed-door meeting with the republican caucus on october 20, where he explained that he would run for speaker if he could be guaranteed an overwhelming majority of the republican caucus would support him. specifically, ryan requested an increased threshold for the political maneuver of vacating the speakership, stated that he would not lessen the amount of time he spends with his family, and requested an official endorsement from the freedom caucus, republican study committee, and the tuesday group by october 23, before he could make his decision. immediately after ryan's announcement, chaffetz announced that he would be dropping out of the race to support ryan. the next day, the freedom caucus held a vote to determine which of its members would support ryan; although the exact tally was not revealed, roughly two-thirds of the caucus voted to endorse ryan. although this was shy of the 80% vote needed for an official endorsement over webster, both the caucus leaders and ryan were satisfied with the result, and ryan made efforts to move forward with a potential speaker bid.
