House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) formally threw his hat into the ring to replace ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), pushing the need for unity in a letter to colleagues.
“Our strength as a Conference comes from our unity, and we have seen when we unite as a Conference, we can deliver wins for the American people. Now we need to take those unified positions and work to extract conservative wins from the Democrat Senate and White House by leveraging upcoming deadlines,” he wrote.
“While we need to be realistic about what can be achieved, if we stay united, we can preserve leverage for the House to secure tangible wins in our impending policy fights.”

McCarthy 2.0. His candidacy should be DOA.

I think Jim will be a great Speaker. I was disappointed when he didn’t want the position the last time. Perhaps mccarthy needed to the Speaker, for many reasons, such as furthering exposing the swamp. We sure did find out a lot last night about pelosi and co.

Tainted and should focus on health. We need a 100% focused speaker.

Jordan is really happy where he is. Wouldn’t surprise me if he withdraws now that Scalise is in.

Could be. I think Jordan may have gotten in since he is acceptable both to Gatez and to Gatez foes

Nice, if true - sounds too good to be true to me, primarily because I don’t trust the motives of anyone in politics/government these days.

Jordan was on the list. Scalise was first. I think he waited to get clearance from his doctor...and Jordan jumped the gun.
Just remember, the Dems have the Senate and the White House and all the control they need to get their way.
