Nominated to be House speaker, Steve Scalise is left searching for Republican votes
Having secured the nomination for the role of the next House speaker, Representative Steve Scalise is immediately confronted with a familiar challenge within the Republican party—hesitant GOP colleagues who are reluctant to pledge their support, thus preventing him from garnering the majority vote required to assume the position.
On Thursday, the House is set to convene at noon in preparation for floor proceedings to elect the speaker.
However, Scalise faces the task of swaying over 100 votes, predominantly from his primary rival, Representative Jim Jordan, who holds the favor of hardline conservatives as they prepare for a battle to replace Representative Kevin McCarthy after his unprecedented removal from the position.
“We have a lot of work to do,” Scalise remarked after the internal party election on Wednesday, the Associated Press reported.
