The House ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy last week, Tuesday night.
House Republicans voted privately to support House Majority Leader Steve Scalise over Congressman Jim Jordan.
But not all House Republicans are signing off on Scalise.
Congressman Thomas Massie of the fourth Congressional District in Northern Kentucky posted this yesterday on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Quote, Surprises are for little kids at birthday parties, not Congress.
So I let Scalise snow in person that he doesn't have my vote on the floor because he has not articulated a viable plan for avoiding an omnibus unquote.
An omnibus refers to a spending bill that ties together spending proposals for many government programs.
Many conservatives feel lumping spending together in one bill makes it hard to reduce government spending.
