"Scalise's Struggle for Votes: The Battle for GOP Speaker Continues"

Republican Representative Steve Scalise is struggling to secure the necessary votes to be elected as Speaker of the House, as many Republicans refuse to rally behind their party's chosen candidate. The GOP remains in chaos, with no clear end in sight to the infighting. Former President Donald Trump has also weighed in against Scalise, citing his battle with blood cancer as a reason he is unfit for the position. Some Republicans are considering alternative candidates, while others are discussing how the House might function without an elected speaker. The disarray has left the House leaderless and hindered its ability to address multiple crises.
