Steve Scalise Chosen as House Speaker, Replacing McCarthy

House Republicans nominate Steve Scalise to be the next speaker, defeating a challenge from Jim Jordan. However, Scalise still lacks the 217 votes needed to become speaker due to tensions within the Republican conference. The timing of a floor vote remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Democrats unanimously nominate Hakeem Jeffries as their leader. Republicans hope to choose a speaker by the end of the week to focus on passing a bill providing aid to Israel.
