Steve Scalise Nabs House Republicans' Nod To Replace Kevin McCarthy As Speaker

The Louisiana congressman is seen as more mainstream than the man he defeated, Rep. Jim Jordan.

House Republicans settled on Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), the current majority leader, as their pick to replace deposed former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

Scalise beat out Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) in a vote that signals continuity with the current House

‘Game on’: Jordan racing to secure votes as speaker vote looms

He’s signaling he wants to bring up a floor vote on Tuesday but is still short support to secure the speakership.

The Ohio Republican told POLITICO that he wants to be able to go to the floor on Tuesday, giving him a matter of days to try to flip more than 50 GOP lawmakers who signaled in a secret ballot vote on Friday that they won’t support him.

House speaker hopefuls equivocate on Trump's 2020 loss

Neither Majority Leader Steve (R-La.) nor Rep. Jim (R-Ohio), both of whom supported objections to the 2020 election, were said to have answered directly.

After Buck's question, which was confirmed by multiple people with knowledge of the meeting, some Republicans interpreted Scalise and Jordan's answers as equivocating on the validity of Trump's loss to Pres. Biden.

Jim Wins Internal GOP Election For Amid Chaos

Many Republican lawmakers have reservations about the Ohioan, causing a similar math problem that led to the withdrawal of Scalise

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) defeated Scott (R-Ga.) in his second try to win his party’s nomination for speaker this week.

Jordan won 124 votes from his colleagues, just over 60% of the Republican conference, making him the party’s speaker-designate.

Who Is Austin Scott? Congressman Announces Run Against Jim Jordan for Speaker

Scott is less conservative than Jordan, though he still holds many of the standard Republican positions. He’s against gun control, same-sex marriage, abortion and marijuana legalization. While he did sign an amicus brief supporting Texas v. Pennsylvania, He also spoke out against the January 6 riots, and attended the inauguration of President Joe Biden.

Reminder from @emptywheel:

Not included in this story:

  1. that the OH sexual assault lawsuit remains active
  2. 's role in January 6
  3. that his "impeachment inquiry" has no evidence
  4. his "weaponization" committee is fact-free bullshit.
