Steve Scalise Withdraws , From House Speaker Race.
In a closed-door meeting on Oct.
12, Scalise told his colleagues that he is no longer running for the position, NBC News reports.
.
His announcement, which he later confirmed to the press, comes one day after being nominated for the job by the GOP.
I just shared with my colleagues that
Iām withdrawing my name as candidate
for the speaker designee, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, via statement.
Scalise will still serve as
majority leader, NBC News reports.
Our conference still has to
come together and is not there.
There are still some people
that have their own agendas, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, via statement.
This House of Representatives
needs a speaker, and we need
to open up the House again.
, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, via statement.
But clearly, not everybody
is there.
And thereāre still
schisms that have to get resolved, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, via statement.
Some Republicans feel that the process should
move forward with Rep.
Jim Jordan, who lost the
GOP nomination to Scalise by a vote of 113-99.
I voted for Jim Jordan in the
conference election yesterday
and I remain committed to doing
everything I can to help elect him
the next Speaker of the House, Rep.
Jim Banks, via statement.
However, others aren't as supportive of
Jordan, and it's not clear if he could secure
the votes needed to assume the position.
The House turmoil comes as former
Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted
at the beginning of the month
Historic TRUMP'S Victory: President Donald Trump celebrates his first major legislative victory of his second term as the U.S. Congress passes the āOne Big Beautiful Billā ā a sweeping package of tax cuts and federal spending reforms. The billās passage marks a turning point for Trump's domestic agenda and highlights strong GOP unity, led by House Speaker Mike Johnson. Trump praised Johnson, Scalise, Emmer, and Thune for delivering the win, calling it a āhistoric momentā and the ābeauty of unified government.ā The legislation sets the stage for more executive orders and deeper conservative reforms ahead.

A major political crisis is unfolding within the Republican party as former President Donald Trump lashes out at House Republicans for blocking what he calls his "big beautiful bill." The proposed legislation, designed to be the largest tax cut in modern history, has stalled due to significant infighting and a shocking lack of support from within Trump's own party. The bill's failure to move forward represents a major defiance against Trump's leadership and has sent shockwaves through the MAGA base.
The core of the crisis lies in the vote count. The House requires 217 votes to pass the legislation, but so far, only 181 Republicans have offered their support. The opposition is led by a small but determined group of four GOP RepresentativesāKeith Self, Victoria Spartz, Andrew Clyde, and Brian Fitzpatrickāwho have publicly voted against the bill. Adding to the chaos, a staggering 35 Republicans did not cast a vote at all, leaving the bill's fate hanging in the balance ahead of a critical July 4 deadline set by Trump himself.
In a scathing rant on his Truth Social platform, Trump questioned the motives of his fellow Republicans, asking, "What are you trying to prove?" He framed the situation as a battle between "the largest tax cut vs. biggest tax hike," warning that this opposition is damaging the party's credibility and momentum. Trump stated that "MAGA is not happy" and cautioned that this defiance could lead to significant voter backlash in swing districts, with his supporters threatening to withdraw support from non-compliant lawmakers in upcoming primaries.
This internal conflict highlights a deeper debate within the GOP concerning federal spending levels, national deficits, and Trump's continued dominance over the party's direction. As the deadline looms, the standoff between Trump and the defiant House Republicans threatens to cause a permanent fracture in the party ahead of the crucial election season.

President Donald Trumpās massive $3.3 trillion tax and spending bill has hit a major roadblock in the House of Representatives. In a critical procedural vote held Wednesday, only 181 GOP lawmakers backed the bill, with four Republicans ā Andrew Clyd, Victoria Sparta, Keith Self, and Brian Fitzpatrick ā voting against it and 35 not voting.
With Trump demanding passage by July 4, the GOP now faces a race against time to secure the 217 votes needed. The defections have rattled Republican leadership, already under pressure from internal divisions over the billās spending cuts and debt ceiling provisions. Trump, who branded the bill āOne Big Beautiful Bill,ā now faces growing resistance within his own party. Will GOP unity crumble, or will backroom deals seal a victory before the deadline?

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trumpās One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud.
Trump labeled Massie a āpathetic loserā and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Muskās financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massieās campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party ā between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values.

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk.
The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trumpās rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation.
Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.
