House Majority Leader Steve Scalise won the House Republican nomination to be the next speaker over Rep. Jim Jordan, 113 to 99, the New York Times reports.
“His candidacy will now go to the House floor, where chaos reigned the last time Republicans tried to elect a speaker and the divisions in the party could make for another raucous election.”
The Hill reports members are saying they were told to be prepared for a House floor vote as soon as 3 p.m. ET today.
