Majority Leader Scalise defeats Jordan in battle for GOP nomination for House speaker


us capitol worthy christian news

(Worthy News) – House Majority Leader Steve Scalise defeated fellow GOP Congressman Jim Jordan on Wednesday in the speaker election before the House GOP conference, following the House vote to remove Rep. Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., from the speakership post.

The vote was 113-99.

The closed-door meeting where Scalise won the speaker nomination took place on Wednesday on Capitol Hill. Prior to the election for speaker, the House GOP conference considered a rule change that would increase the threshold needed to win the speaker nomination from a majority of the GOP conference to a simple majority of 217 votes. The change would likely have avoided the speaker vote on the House floor from going multiple rounds like it did in January with McCarthy’s nomination. The motion to raise the threshold was tabled at the meeting.
