Steve Scalise's Withdrawal Deepens Turmoil in House Speaker Race

Majority Leader Steve Scalise has withdrawn from the race to become House speaker, further destabilizing the House of Representatives. Scalise's decision comes after he won the GOP's nomination for the position, but failed to gain enough support from his colleagues. The withdrawal leaves the House Republicans in disarray, with no clear candidate to unify the fractured majority. The party will hold another private meeting to nominate a new candidate, with Rep. Jim Jordan emerging as a potential choice. However, it remains uncertain if Jordan can secure the necessary votes to become speaker.
