Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R.-Tenn.) said Tuesday he wouldn't make an endorsement in the race to replace Rep. Tom DeLay (R.-Tex.) as House majority leader.

Acting Majority Leader Roy Blunt (R.-Mo.) is facing a spirited challenge from Rep. John Boehner, chairman of the House Education and Workforce Committee.
