WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have nominated Rep. Steve Scalise to be the next House speaker. Now they must try to unite their deeply divided majority to elect the conservative in a floor vote after ousting Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the job. In private balloting at the Capitol on Wednesday, House Republicans narrowly pushed aside Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, the Judiciary Committee chairman, in favor of Scalise, the current majority leader from Louisiana. A floor vote of the whole House could come as soon, but tensions are still running high among Republicans who’ve brought the House to a standstill with bitter infighting. And it’s uncertain whether Jordan, who was backed by Donald Trump, will throw his support to Scalise. (Photo: AP)
