House Republicans are meeting behind closed doors Thursday afternoon to talk about who will lead the chamber.
Speaker designate/Majority Leader Steve Scalise convened a conference meeting Thursday afternoon in the hope that he could convince members to support him on the House floor. After two hours behind closed doors, members are coming out and admitting their conference remains so fractured that no one, including Scalise, can come close to garnering the necessary 217 Republican votes to win the speaker’s gavel.
While the purpose of the meeting was for Scalise to hear from colleagues about why they are hesitant to support him, it became what many described as an unproductive conference where members just continued to air their grievances. The divisions remain so stark across several issues — from policy to how the House should be reformed — that Republicans did not get any closer to coalescing around Scalise, his challenger Jim Jordan , or any other colleague.
