House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) is attempting to undermine Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) bid for the Speakership gavel after voting for him on the first ballot, sources familiar with the matter have confirmed to Breitbart News.

CNN’s Annie Grayer noted on X that the majority leader would not commit to helping Jordan secure the 17 outstanding votes he needs for the top House job. This is despite Jordan requesting his aid, as the House has not had a Speaker since now-former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was removed on October 3. Sources on Capitol Hill have confirmed Grayer’s reporting to Breitbart News.

The radical left of the GOP are bringing the business of the nation to a standstill.

You know if this was the freedom caucus the media would be calling them out. Yet they won’t call out the lefties in the GOP.

Probably not going to be real popular, to me Steve Scalise has always been a Mike Pence lite.

Everyone here, calm TF down, NOW, and take a deep breath.

These holdouts are looking to make a deal for their vote. This is horse trading.

JJ will win in the end. It may take a few rounds. Be patient, though for many here, I know that word has no meaning for you.

The guy has cancer, limps from being shot, yet he’s still committed to toppling our government. Talk about insurrection! I wish real Americans had that much commitment.
