Earlier, National File reported Steve Scalise’s victory in the GOP House Speakers vote with 113 votes, surpassing the 99 garnered by opposing candidate Jim Jordan. While Scalise is poised to become America’s next Speaker, controversy arises as RINO (Republican In Name Only) Ken Buck abstained from voting, citing his disagreement with Scalise and Jordan’s 2020 election integrity efforts.
Despite Scalise’s triumph, a ray of hope lingers for Jim Jordan at the impending 3 pm vote. Anna Paulina Luna, when questioned about her speaker vote, expressed uncertainty, stating, “We will see at 3 pm when I vote on the floor.”
