Scalise wanted to stay in his district since he had just won some serious clout in Congress.


What was Scalise's "clout" before becoming Majority Whip, which he didn't get until Cantor was defeated just a few months ago?

Chair of the Republican Study Committee? That's not so huge.

Wasn't McCarthy going to run against Cantor anyway and they were all going to take a step up?

Or he planned to run against McCarthy regardless.

It was one of those two. He was planning to stick it out and rise in the ranking, either way. Cantor getting defeated just made it easier and expedited the process.
