Michele Bachmann has given up on her run for the GOP Conference Chair, a House leadership position that she has been enthusiastically campaigning for since last Wednesday.

Bachmann's failed bid pitted her against Texas Republican Jeb Hensarling, and her entry into the race generated a cool reaction from Speaker-in-waiting John Boehner's lieutenants. Bachmann announced her endorsement of Hensarling on Wdnesday evening.

"Jeb Henserling has my enthusiastic support for his candidacy to become Republican House Conference Chair," Bachmann said. "Jeb has demonstrated his commitment to limited government, reduced spending and lower taxes and he will be a strong voice for the Tea Party's call for these values."

"I look forward to continuing my consistent support of the Tea Party," she continued. "I plan to advance the Tea Party ideals through their listening arm, the Tea Party Caucus. It is my wish to bring new faces to the caucus, including freshmen members."
