Steve Scalise May Fill Experience Vacuum

Given Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) lack of leadership experience, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) may end up becoming an “unusually powerful majority leader,” the Washington Post reports.

“Scalise was Johnson’s mentor when he first arrived in Washington in 2017… They were never particularly close, but Scalise — a fellow Louisianian — is closer to him than any other member of leadership.”
