Multiple reports surfaced Wednesday that House Republicans held a secret ballot for House speaker. And, as the Washington Examiner reported, Rep. Steve Scalise won with a 113-99 vote.
However, it is believed that, as of now, Scalise does not have the votes necessary to be elected House speaker successfully. It’s the latest development in the House speaker drama and, like nearly every other political issue for the last two decades, voters in the country are divided over the catalyst for this — the ouster of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy .A recent survey by Rasmussen Reports found that many voters in the country were not sure voting to remove McCarthy “was a smart move.
Unsurprisingly, the group of voters who supported McCarthy’s removal the most were Democrats. Rasmussen found that 56% of the left-wing political party favored the ouster, compared to only 42% of GOP voters. Interestingly, that percentage was similar to the number of “voters not affiliated with either major party” who favored McCarthy’s removal, with 45% of unaffiliated people supporting the move, according to Rasmussen.
Republicans, on the other hand, are divided. It remains to be seen who will be the next speaker of the House and, more importantly, when this will happen.
