Steve Scalise doesn't have the votes. The debasement continues apace.
Steve Scalise was nominated as the Republican candidate for House speaker but does not yet have the votes; the House remains leaderless.The second-biggest question in the Capitol right now is who will be the speaker of the House. The biggest question is simply: Why would anybody want to be the speaker of the House at this point?
Whoever wins will have to deal with a seemingly unmanageable Republican conference, the expiration of government funding in just over a month, multiple geopolitical crises in Israel and Ukraine, and a host of other day-to-day issues—all while trying to hold on to a paper-thin majority, with 18 members in districts won by Joe Biden and another member who has introduced six different bills to impeach Biden.
On Wednesday, before the process to elect a new speaker began, members of Congress received a classified intelligence briefing for members of Congress abouton Israel over the weekend that left over 1,200 Israelis dead. This nominally would have been a reminder of the perilous state of American governance when the lack of a speaker prevents the House of Representatives from functioning.
