Scalise edges Jordan for GOP nomination for Speaker:
Rep. Steve Scalise (La.) came out on top as House Republicans met Wednesday to pick their nominee for Speaker.
The conference was closely divided between the House majority leader from Louisiana and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio). Indeed the final vote was close — a win by 14 votes.
I have put up a live feed that currently just has a bunch of people walking through the halls chatting and a few interviews. The real event (the vote) should happen at 3 p.m. EDST/12 p.m. PDST. But...it could happen later; we shall see. Enjoy!
