Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich suggests to 'Hannity' that GOP should rally around Rep. Scalise after caucus vote.
GOP fight over next House speaker is playing out like a ‘bad episode of VEEP’ says BK, SI Rep. Nicole Malliotakiswas in doubt Thursday evening, with a handful of holdouts still unconvinced he is the best pick to lead the Republican conference.
When asked if Scalise could rally sufficient support to be speaker, McCarthy answered: “It’s possible; it’s a big hill, though.” “Let’s do the messy work of governing and leadership selection in front of the people,” Rep. Matt Gaetz , who led the charge to expel McCarthy from leadership,Rep. George Santos burst out of the Thursday meeting within its first hour, complaining that it was a “waste of time” and saying he would not support Scalise’s speakership.“We elected & removed McCarthy with total transparency. Let’s replace him in the same manner,” he said.
“You guys want to board a plane and just go grab the guy off row 11 and say, ‘You saddle up; you’re in the seat.’ That’s not a good model.”
