Good morning, Jane!
The vote was too close 113-99 with 3 votes added for Scalise from territories that don’t really count.
They had to recess the House so they could stat twisting arms, bribing members.
It’s not a done deal that the next speaker is going to be Scalise.

Republican voters overwhelmingly wanted Jim Jordan over Steve Scalise for Speaker - so naturally the Republican Party did a secret ballot behind closed doors to pick Steve Scalise.

The big money donors and lobbyists want Steve Scalise as Speaker.
The voters want Jim Jordan as Speaker.
So naturally, the Republican Congress goes behind closed doors on a secret ballot and screws their voters over again, AS USUAL.
I’m glad they’re pushing for Jim Jordan. I have reservations about both, but finding out that Scalise stuck with Cheney during the J6 BS, well, IMHO he should be booted from the party!
Well I’m just catching up on this thread, didn’t know all this stuff about Scalise.
