Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., appeared on Fox News on Wednesday to discuss Republican deliberations over who will become the next speaker of the House.
Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., made his pitch to fellow Republicans to become the next House speaker on Wednesday. Scalise appeared on Fox News to discuss ongoing Republican deliberations on who will replace former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Scalise is facing a challenger in Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who has been endorsed by former President Trump.
Not all Republicans are so confident, however. GOP lawmakers are expected to hold their interparty election at 10 a.m. after getting briefed on the unfolding crisis in Israel – which adds a sense of urgency as lawmakers scramble to restore order in Congress. 'I don't know if by the end of this week we will have a speaker.
Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., was also doubtful a candidate will be chosen by the end of the day. 'I think there's some that have some problems with past behavior and each other, and so I think it's going to take more than one day to get this done,' Murphy told Fox News Digital. Fox News' Liz Elkind contributed to this report.
