Scalise's Narrow Victory and Uncertain Path to Speaker
GOP Majority Leader Steve Scalise narrowly won the vote to be nominated as the new Speaker of the House, but questions remain as to when and if he will become the 56th Speaker. Scalise did not have the 217 votes needed to win the gavel, leading to a delay in the floor vote. Some GOP members, such as Lauren Boebert and Thomas Massey, have not committed to voting for Scalise. If he fails to reach the required votes, Representative Jim Jordan could be nominated as an alternative.
