Scalise Withdraws From House Speaker Race

[beautress]

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., has withdrawn from the House speaker race after he failed to unite the Republican conference around his candidacy.

"I just shared with my colleagues that I'm withdrawing my name as a candidate for the speaker designate," the Louisiana Republican told reporters on Thursday night, just one day after he narrowly won the support of his conference over Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the Trump-endorsed pick for speaker and the House Judiciary Committee.

But as the hours wore on, it became clearer and clearer that Scalise could not win over his detractors. At least 19 House Republicans opposed his candidacy as of Thursday evening, according to a Spectrum News tally.

"Our conference still has to come together and is not there," he added. "There are still some people that have their own agendas, and I was very clear we have to have everybody put their agendas on the side and focus on what this country needs.”

"This House of Representatives needs a speaker and we need to open up the house again," he said. "But clearly, not everybody is there. And they're still schisms, that has to get resolved."

Scalise has been the No. 2-ranking House Republican since 2019 and part of Republican House leadership since 2014. The Louisiana Republican, who turned 58 last week, was nearly killed in 2017 when a left-wing extremist opened fire on lawmakers during a practice for the annual congressional baseball game, wounding Scalise and three others.

Well, that's a fine mess! What will they do now? What do you think?

It could be that our Beloved Steve Scalise doesn't want his family worrying about his safety from leftist lockstep lunatics like the late Mr. James Hodgkinson, who tried to murder him for attending a Republican Congressman baseball game practice to get away from the harsh responsibilities of leadership in Congress. Scalise will be admired for the duration of his life by friends and conservatives alike. Even so, he loves his family very much and is willing to take a back seat on account of the dire consequence of challenging the n'er do wells to make sure right is done for the people of the United States of America. He gave his all, and he still has to deal with disabilities his give assassination attempt of the illegal Communists in Congress.

Gerrymandering is a pretty simple model that desperately seeks to address the fatal demographic death spiral that pretty much ensures the end of white supremacy in America. It however, is only a short term solution as it becomes increasingly untenable with time.

All the dopey narratives you can muster cannot stop the inevitable.

Inevitably, the American people are fed up to here with lies of Biden, his unfathomable destruction of the border that was to bring the DNC endless votes until they looked under the cover and saw the crafty illegal aliens were planning to join the Republican Party.
