House Majority Leader Steve Scalise will be the Republican nominee for speaker, defeating Rep. Jim Jordan in a simple majority vote in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday.
Rep. Max Miller said he will not vote for anyone but Jordan on the floor. He said until Jordan takes himself out of the race, he won’t even consider voting for Scalise or any other candidate.“But you know what, we just had 6% of the conference dictate the speaker of the House," Miller said."So why would I let 51% dictate the next speaker. The numbers don't make any sense across the board.
The closed-door election was conducted through a secret ballot, so it’s not entirely clear which members supported which candidate except for those who have publicly confirmed their vote. However, when the motion comes to the floor, members will be cast their votes through a verbal roll call.
