WHIP LIST: Scalise races to lock down votes for Speaker
House Republicans on Wednesday officially nominated Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) to be Speaker.
But almost immediately, members started expressing their reluctance to vote for him on the House floor — or simply remaining noncommittal.
In the House GOP’s narrow majority, just a handful of Republican holdouts could set up a floor fight.
See who those members are below, and check back as this list will be updated.
