The House GOP's hoped-for moment of unity never materialized on Wednesday. Now it's another long slog ahead.
clinched House Republicans’ nod for speaker on Wednesday, he did not deliver a victory speech. He didn’t hold a news conference for cable TV, and champagne was not delivered to his leadership suite.
While Scalise’s allies had hoped Wednesday’s vote would propel the party to coalesce behind him, Scalise is still laboring to complete what would be a compelling rise to the House’s top spot. At least a dozen Republicans have publicly lined up against Scalise, who can only afford to lose four of them on the floor., Scalise’s opponent in the speaker race — even though Jordan vowed to support his foe on the floor.
It all amounts to a sense that the House GOP conference is free-falling into a longer limbo. Even the specter of hostilities in the Middle East could not overcome their dissension. On their seventh leader-less day, they’re still unable to do much beyond say the Pledge of Allegiance on the floor.
