The one from the Republican Party next Speaker US House of Representatives nominee Steve Scalise has dropped out of the race for office. Scalise announced this on Thursday evening. “I have just announced to my colleagues that I am putting my name forward as a candidate for the election of Speakers withdraw,” he told reporters. There are still some people in his party who have their own agenda.
Even after hours of Republican talks behind closed doors, Scalise was unable to secure the required majority of 217 votes to be elected chairman of the House of Representatives. Republicans have a slim majority in the House of Representatives, but there are disagreements over who should serve Speakers within your own party. This means that the US House of Representatives has been in power since the fall of the Speakers Kevin McCarthy has been without a leader for nine days due to dissidents in his own party and the American Congress is practically unable to act.
US President Joe Biden wants to present a draft additional budget to Congress next week. His spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre did not provide any details to journalists on Thursday. However, according to NBC News, the Democrat wants to ask MPs for additional funds to support Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan as well as to secure the border with Mexico.
