Scalise to pitch to GOP holdouts as House speaker race remains uncertain
Fox News
House Republicans are meeting behind closed doors this afternoon as Majority Leader Steve Scalise pitches himself as speaker to GOP holdouts.
But it quickly became clear that Scalise did not have the support needed to win a House-wide vote. With just a razor-thin majority, he can only afford to lose four GOP members to still clinch the gavel without Democratic support.

Scalise will make his case to GOP holdouts during another closed-door meeting Thursday, which is scheduled to take place at 12:15 p.m. ET. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
