House Majority Leader Steve Scalise on Thursday evening announced he was withdrawing from the race to become the next Speaker of the House.
“Our conference still has to come together and we’re not there. There are still some people that have their own agendas,” he said, according to the Washington Post. “There’s still work to be done.”
[Well, isn’t that peachy. Now what? Scalise couldn’t get to 150 in the conference, but Jordan couldn’t get to 100, either. Will they do another nominating round that no one will commit to supporting? – Ed]
