The Hitchhiker's Guide to why Scalise's speaker math may never work and the push to resurrect McCarthy
Fox News
House Republicans continue to face opposition in electing a speaker after Kevin McCarthy was voted out, leaving room for uncertainty as to whether Steve Scalise will fill that role.
Senior House leadership sources were utterly shocked and dismayed Wednesday night at the resistance by rank-and-file Republicans to potentially electing House Speaker-designate Steve Scalise, R-La., as speaker after he won the GOP conference nod behind closed doors on a secret ballot. Chad Pergram currently serves as a senior congressional correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC). He joined the network in September 2007 and is based out of Washington, D.C.
Scalise continued to work individually with Republicans to gain their support. But there is a long way to go. In fact, the fight could take days. However, things do have a way of coming together quickly on Capitol Hill, and there could still be a floor vote Thursday.
