Scalise is a McCarthy protege...... IMHO, the McCarthy faction urged Scalise to run. He was selected as their boy. Nevertheless, he still needs to be confirmed by the whole House, but I'm hoping that Gaetz and others force Scalise to oblige to the same deal as McCarthy agreed on.
If there was any lessons learned by McCarthy's treachery and broken promises, I sure hope Gaetz and others learned from it to strengthen the deal.
Lastly, wasn't it Scalise who said that he wanted McCarthy voted back in as Speaker? I thought it was odd that Scalise suddenly wanted to be Speaker himself after Jordan announced his intentions. Scalise always declined the nomination before.
If Biden were to die or be removed from office and it came down to Kamala (who would be impeached very quickly), I could see Republicans 100% voting Trump into the Speakership to save America.
I think any Republican that doesn't support Trump knows they'll get ousted in their next election so maybe between that and the military being in control (of those they need to be in control of) will put Trump as Speaker with potentially an obvious ascension to the Presidency shortly thereafter
There is no house of representatives. When it became clear that elections were being stolen across the US, that means no one was elected in 2020, probably 2018, and maybe even 2016. No representatives, no senators, nothing. The federal government is completely defunct. The only probable governing body is the Supreme Court, and even then, I think it is all just a show.
It is all a show, designed to show us that the republicans and democrats are all working on the same team, and that team is TYRANNY. The federal government was compromised a very long time ago, and we need to see what it truly is and how it truly operates, and how it is designed to assault every liberty of the American people. The constitution has nullified the federal government because the federal government cannot take one step without violating it!
I think we will see some more fireworks and sparks before a new speaker is elected. Scalise cannot be the guy. Unless Scalise is going to act like an actual American and not a bought-and-paid-for traitor, that is.
I'm waiting to pass judgement until I see what happens. I came to the realization that Steve Scalise got a pass from me when he was shot and because of that I haven't been watching him closely enough.
Jim Jordan is pretty busy with his investigations, so if Steve is the real deal and can handle the job, I think I prefer Jordan focusing on his investigations.

Agree...Combined with the news he is battling cancer is concerning.
I'm guessing it will take many more votes than last time to get a speaker.
I don't see Scalise getting 217 votes. Barely got enough for the nomination.
No thanks on Scalise. I’m done with establishment gop no matter what they promise.
Me as well. I want Andy Biggs to be Speaker.
The longer it takes, the longer no budget agreements - drag it out.
I'm hoping it will drag on for a while so we can see more candidates. I'm not happy with Scalise.

That's what I'm hoping, waiting, praying for. But how in the world he will get the votes is the question...

I don't think he would get them now, it would have to be something catastrophic.
There is a lot of chatter about a temporary speaker. I think if that happens, then following that I expect Jordan will be speaking.
My 2 cents:

Yes like in who voted for Fetterman?
It's obviously a sick joke. The people playing "democrat" in this movie are going above and beyond to ham up their roles.
Remember, Joe Biden was polling DEAD LAST for most of the primaries in 2020.
Kamala Harris was the only candidate less popular than Joe!
I like your 2 cents. Thanks.

With the talk of Trump planning on talking to congress, is that not happening or a well kept secret if it did?
I remember Trump was going to go speak to congress but I haven't heard anything more to know if it's still happening.
Is Scalise a dual citizen like Jim Jordan?
