Majority Leader Steve Scalise expressed confidence that he will secure the House speakership on Wednesday, saying he believes he has the votes to do so.
"The Congress cannot move without a speaker," he emphasized."The world is moving and moving in a very bad direction. We have got to get the House back to work. "Our members have stronger resolve than ever to get back to work. I want that work to start today," he added."In my opinion, I don't think anybody has 217," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said following Tuesday's closed-door candidate forum.
Scalise is positioning himself as a unifier among a fractured Republican conference that has frequently been held up by a hard-line faction.
