"Steve Scalise's Nomination for House Speaker Leaves Republicans in Limbo"
TL;DR Summary
Steve Scalise has won the support of Republicans to become the next Speaker of the House of Representatives, but it remains uncertain if he has enough votes to secure an overall majority in the chamber. Scalise, who defeated Jim Jordan in a private party vote, must now work to unite the divided Republicans and gain the backing of most representatives. With a slim majority, he can only afford to lose the support of five party members. The timing of the vote is unclear, and some lawmakers express skepticism about Scalise's ability to secure the position due to deep divisions within the party.
