When all this started, I had hoped it would get to him. I was very doubtful due to how new he was in the grand scheme of it all.

He has a genuine shot of becoming the first Speaker of the House from Louisiana tomorrow. Many believed Scalise was lined up for it. Crazy to think Louisiana will be represented in the 2 highest positions in the Republican-controlled House of Reps.

I guess you can be proud of that, at this point idk if people really want it as now they’ll get all the focus on them. Everything will now be their fault as well and it’s the 3rd go at this, so again be proud but it’s not like he was the first guy. And I’m a huge supporter of his as he seems like a good genuine person in all the committee hearings I’ve watched, which is a lot, especially him during trumps investigations & impeachments.

Is he going to have real power or did he have to acquiesce to the arrangement McCarthy had where 8 can remove him?

No guarantee that Scalise will keep his leadership spot.

Never heard of him. Please tell me he isn't old & has evangelist white hair. Please be Libertarian thinking & tell everyone else to fack off.

Good enough for LSU, good enough for America.

The LSU takeover of America rolls on.

Other than being from LA, cause we all know that LA politicians are sooooo trustworthy, why should we be good with him as SOTH?

Mike has been a personal friend for over 30 years. He is a good man with a high level of integrity. Pray for this man that he will stand strong again all the evil in DC

I don't know Mike personally but know several people that do. By all accounts he's a good genuine guy and what you see is what you get. He let me in front of him in line at Walgreens one time when I had a buggy full of ice cream...so he's alright in my book.

Politically Mike is a great example of being able to disagree with someone with class and dignity while not sacrificing principles. To a large extent this makes someone more friends than enemies.

He might be the first example of this paying off in national politics in quite a while.

I’m legitimately happy for him.

He’s going to do a great job. He’s a perfect choice.

The republicans do not want to elect a speaker of the house. McCarthy was ousted because he twice stopped the government shutdown. The republicans are the chaos conference.
