Republican Steve Scalise's decision to withdraw from the race throws the House into further turmoil - and means the position of Speaker has now been vacant for 10 days since Republican Kevin McCarthy was ousted from office by members of his own party.
Republican congressman Steve Scalise has abandoned his bid to be the next US Speaker of the House - just over 24 hours after his party nominated him. His decision to withdraw from the race throws Washington's House of Representatives into further turmoil - and means the position of Speaker has now been vacant for 10 days since Republican Kevin McCarthy was ousted from office.
He faced a motion to vacate, which was triggered by Donald Trump ally Matt Gaetz, just months after securing the position in 15 rounds of voting. It followed Mr McCarthy's decision to cooperate with the Democrats to keep the government running rather than risk a shutdown. It is the first time in the country's history that House representatives have voted the Speaker out.
