"Uncertainty looms as GOP nominates Steve Scalise for House Speaker"

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise has won a closed-door conference vote to become the Republican majority's next candidate for speaker, but his nomination faces opposition from several GOP lawmakers who have publicly announced they will not support him in a chamber-wide vote. The fractured GOP caucus is divided, with tensions rising over the selection process. Scalise netted 113 Republican votes while his competitor, Jim Jordan, won 99. The current makeup of the House allows a GOP speaker candidate to lose only four votes without Democratic support, and at least 11 Republicans have already stated they will not vote for Scalise. The timing of the vote remains uncertain as Republicans try to resolve their differences.

Republican House Speaker Candidates Withdraw from Televised Fox News Debate

The top Republican candidates vying to replace Rep. Kevin McCarthy as the next speaker of the House of Representatives have backed out of a televised debate scheduled to air on Fox News. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, and Rep. Kevin Hern all agreed that the debate on the conservative news network would not be a good idea, preferring to have a closed-door discussion within the Republican conference. The GOP caucus is scheduled to hold a conference meeting to discuss choosing a speaker, and former President Donald Trump has endorsed Jim Jordan for the role. McCarthy was the first House speaker in U.S. history to be ousted in a no-confidence vote.
