Not all that much for a first round of voting when you really want something like 75%-80% before feeling like you can start considering taking it to the floor for a formal vote.

Again, if Scalise is stepping aside then that means Jordan is the last one on Survivor Island (unless someone else has suddenly jumped in and has the potential to carry more votes than Jordan).
