A consensus builder is critical given that the GOP eked out a slim 222-213 majority in last month\u2019s midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Politico <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook\/2022\/12\/21\/zelenskyy-in-washington-scalise-in-waiting-00074931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> Last week, Scalise was approached by a small group legislative representatives.

Liz Cheney (R-WY), told The Daily Wire. \u201cIt was baffling, almost like he was under her spell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ex-White House aide who was involved in immigration negotiations at Capitol Hill warned Scalise that Scalise wasn&#8217;t solid on immigration. This comes as the southern border is in crisis for the entire time President Joe Biden has lived in the White House.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always knew what we were dealing with during any immigration debate \u2014 behind the scenes, Scalise was always trying to push any bill to the left and loosen amnesty restrictions,\u201d The Daily Wire received an interview with the former aide.<\/p>\n<p>Scalise also encountered opposition online from prominent conservative media personalities, including John Cardillo (political commentator): \u201cScalise never condemned Liz Cheney, and in fact never threw support behind her opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Scalise did not condemn Liz Cheney.
