Ken Buck Ready to Back Steve Scalise for Speaker

Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO), who has voted for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for speaker, told CNN that Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) would be the next choice for speaker.

Buck said he will not vote for McCarthy in future rounds of voting.

Said Buck: “At some point this needs to break loose. He either needs to make a deal to bring them over or he needs to step aside and give somebody else a chance to do that.”
