Rep. SteveScalise privately being prepped by Republicans to steal gavel from GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy: Report
A group of lawmakers has approached No. 2 Republican Rep. Steve Scalise about running for House speaker in the next Congress should McCarthy’s bid fail, telling him to “just be ready,” sources familiar told Politico. Scalise could offer a more agreeable alternative to McCarthy, as the House minority leader has faced opposition from a handful of Republicans that has threatened to derail his speakership bid.
“Does he want to be speaker? Absolutely. But is he going to screw Kevin? Absolutely not,” one person close to Scalise told the outlet. “Some of those candidates have expressed interest to us — or that they would be interested once it’s clear Kevin McCarthy won’t be speaker,” Rep. Bob Good told Politico. However, he added that it’s difficult to name names without risking the ire of McCarthy and his allies.
