U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace arrives to a candidate forum with House Republicans to hear from members running for U.S. Speaker of House in the Longworth House Office Building on October 10, 2023 in Washington, DC. On Tuesday evening, two leading contenders for the gavel, Majority Leader Steve Scalise and Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, were scheduled to address colleagues behind closed doors at a candidate forum, but they appeared to be splitting the vote.
“I came here to take difficult votes and do the right thing, regardless of the pressure and regardless of the threats . Today I’m voting against 95 percent of my party in the hopes of fixing how Congress operates,” Mace said the day of the vote. “With the current Speaker, this chaos will continue. We need a fresh start so we can get back to the people’s business free of these distractions.”
Both Scalise and Jordan are working furiously to shore up support. Both are easily winning over dozens of supporters, but it’s unclear if either can amass the 217 votes likely needed in a floor vote that could come as soon as Wednesday.Scalise as the second-ranking Republican would be next in line for the gavel and is seen as a hero among colleagues for having survived severe injuries from a mass shooting during a congressional baseball practice in 2017.
