Steve Scalise of Louisiana has emerged as the nominee for speaker in the House Republican Conference, according to\u2062 CNN. Scalise secured 113 votes, defeating \u200dHouse Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who received 99 votes \u200cand had the support of former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The vote, which took place on Wednesday, was conducted through a secret\u2062 ballot. After\u2064 the results were announced, Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida exclaimed, \u200d&#8221;Long live\u200d Speaker Scalise,&#8221; as reported\u2064 by The \u2062New York Times. Gaetz was among the eight Republicans who joined forces with Democrats to remove\u200d McCarthy.<\/p>\n<p>The next step is a floor vote in the full House,\u2064 where Scalise will \u2064need to garner 217\u200d votes to\u2062 succeed former\u200c Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Currently, there are 221 Republicans \u200cand 212 Democrats in the House, according to\u200b the House Press Gallery.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Rep.

However, the chances of this happening\u200c diminished when Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio, a Jordan supporter, declared that he would not vote for Scalise on the floor. Miller stated, \u200c&#8221;I&#8217;m Jim Jordan all \u2063the way,&#8221; according to the Times.<\/p>\n<p>Another Republican, Rep. Scott Perry of \u2063Pennsylvania, did not \u200breveal \u200dhis floor vote\u200d intentions, as reported by The Washington Post. Perry expressed his \u2063concerns about Scalise&#8217;s elevation from majority leader to \u2062speaker,\u2063 saying, &#8220;We have to quit having this place run the way \u2064it was\u200b run.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although\u2063 Jordan did\u200b not\u200b make any immediate public comments after the \u2064vote, Rep.

Scalise secured 113\u200d votes, defeating Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who received 99 votes.<\/p>\n<p>The support of former President Donald Trump was behind \u2064Jordan, but Scalise still emerged as the winner. The announcement of\u2062 Scalise&#8217;s victory was met\u2064 with\u200d enthusiasm from Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, who exclaimed, &#8220;Long live Speaker Scalise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, Scalise&#8217;s nomination is just\u200b the first\u200b step towards becoming the speaker. The next stage is a floor vote in\u200b the full House, where Scalise will\u200c need\u200c to gather 217 votes to succeed former Speaker\u2062 Kevin McCarthy. Currently, there are 221 Republicans and 212 Democrats in the House, according to the House Press Gallery.<\/p>\n<p>One potential\u2063 obstacle for Scalise is\u200c the \u2063need for Jordan&#8217;s supporters to switch their allegiance to \u200chim. Additionally, there are nine\u2063 House Republicans who did not \u200bvote in the nomination process, \u2064and their votes could also hold significance. However, the chances of these supporters shifting their \u200bsupport to Scalise diminished when Rep. \u200bMax Miller of \u200cOhio,\u200b a Jordan supporter, declared that\u200b he would not\u200c vote\u200b for Scalise on\u200d the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Another Republican, Rep.\u200b Scott\u2062 Perry \u2064of\u200c Pennsylvania, has also not revealed his intentions \u200cfor the \u200cfloor vote.

Tim Burchett of \u200dTennessee quoted him as saying, &#8220;We need\u200b to get to 217 and we need to have a plan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The upcoming floor vote at 3 p.m. Eastern time has raised concerns among \u2062Scalise supporters, including Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska. \u200bThe outcome of the vote will \u2063determine whether \u200cScalise\u200c becomes\u2062 the new speaker of the House.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Steve Scalise&#8217;s nomination for speaker in the House Republican Conference marks an important step\u200d in the \u200cprocess of \u200cselecting a new speaker. The floor vote, which will take place soon, will ultimately \u2064decide who will\u200c hold this influential \u200dposition in the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the House Majority Leader, secured the House Republican Conference&#8217;s nomination for speaker.
