House Republicans have chosen Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., as their nominee for speaker after huddling behind closed doors for over two hours on Wednesday.
GOP lawmakers voted via secret ballot for who they will put up as speaker in a House floor vote, which will likely come sometime this week.
It comes after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., was ousted in a vote by eight members of his own party and all House Democrats last week. That moment marked the first time in history the U.S. House of Representatives voted to remove its own leader.
The contest to replace him quickly became a two-man race between Scalise and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
Scalise has been McCarthy’s longtime No. 2, despite a years long rivalry between the two

He was shot by a marxist terrorist. I think it was after 2015. Gaetz jus backed him.
The 8 that voted “present” have not indicated that they will support Scalise. That leaves him 5 votes short of the needed 217. Looks like there’s still some deal-making to get to work on.
Maybe unlike keyword experts they have their own institutional knowledge.
It’s not been infrequent in organizations at which I’ve worked or volunteered in that the great unwashed have little knowledge as to how popular favorites are perceived by people who have worked with them for years.
That terrorist was driven white hot by Hillary and her Russia! coup of Donald Trump.
True.
Gaetz is looking to be the kingmaker.
Boo. No wonder it was a ‘secret ballot’.
I'll wait to see what Gaetz got in return. IMO, both he and Jordan are stiffs. Trump x 100 days as Speaker would have provided me with much fun!
“Gaetz is looking to be the kingmaker.”
If there has to be a kingmaker, you can’t do much better than Gaetz. He one of the few there that I trust.
Gaetz is indeed a moron and a borderline degenerate.
It is clear now his opposition to McCarthy was entirely personal and all about the upcoming Ethics Committee report that he wants desperately to go away.
Just think about the architects of this disaster:
Freaking Barbie Boy Matt Gaetz
Pathetic, mentally unstable abortion lover, Nancy Mace
CNN hopeful and Lynn Cheney butt-boy, Ken Buck
Just a few of the Idiot Eight who engineered this mess. All lauded as Saviors of the Republic by so many here
The fact that BarbieBoy Matt Gaetz is backing Scalise now proves all along it was completely personal with him.
No you are a TDS degenerate.
Unacceptable. He’ll be no different than McCarthy.
Great MAGA man!
“That globalistic alliance is composed of: China, Russia, IRAN, North Korea, Belarus, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua.”
**********
Why do you leave out the Biden regime, the EU, Australia, and Canada, which are opposing Russia and more globalist.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
America / Europe are NOT “more” globalized.
The globalist China, Russia, IRAN, North Korea, Belarus, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua - network represent FAR MORE people. It makes them the LARGEST globalized system in the history of mankind!
I prefer talking about the Globalist network above because, they steal from America en mass, imprison and kill Americans, and often take our citizens hostage. They also kill our allies and participate in macabre anti-judeo-christian operations all around the world.
Trump also embarrassed himself with the endorsement of Kevin McCarthy
