"Jordan, Scalise, and Trump: The Battle for House Speaker"

Jim Jordan and Steve Scalise have entered the race to become the next Speaker of the US House of Representatives, following the removal of Kevin McCarthy from the position. Other Republicans may also join the race. While Donald Trump has teased the idea of accepting the job in the short term, it is unlikely he would win the necessary votes. Jim Jordan, a powerful Republican in Congress, has gained visibility as one of Trump's most avid defenders. Steve Scalise, McCarthy's No. 2, is also vying for the position. Other potential candidates include Kevin Hern, Patrick McHenry, Tom Emmer, and Elise Stefanik.
