Scalise, a true conservative warrior, penned a heartfelt letter to his Republican colleagues, expressing his gratitude for their support during his difficult recovery after being shot during a congressional baseball game in 2017. He credits his fellow conference members for saving his life and providing prayers that carried him through the darkest moments.
This heartfelt letter showcases Scalise’s character and resilience. He firmly believes that the Republican Conference is a family, and he’s ready to fight for their values and for the American people. And boy, does he have what it takes to fight! This man has already defied the odds and come back stronger than ever. He knows firsthand the importance of perseverance and standing strong in the face of adversity.
It’s no surprise that Scalise is viewed as a potential frontrunner for the Speaker position. He commands respect across the Republican conference, and his leadership will unite the party like never before. Even fellow conservatives like Rep. Andy Biggs have been endorsing him since January, recognizing his ability to bring everyone together.
But Scalise’s support doesn’t just come from his colleagues; it also comes from his track record. Rep. Matt Gaetz, who has endorsed Jim Jordan’s candidacy, still recognizes that Scalise would make a phenomenal Speaker. Gaetz even called him a “monumental” upgrade over McCarthy. That’s high praise!
And the endorsements keep pouring in. Reps. Lisa McClain and Tony Gonzales have also thrown their support behind Scalise. These conservatives see his potential, knowing that he will lead with conviction and unwavering conservative principles.
It’s clear that Scalise is the right choice for Speaker, someone who has overcome tremendous challenges and emerged as a true conservative beacon. With Scalise at the helm, the House will finally have a leader who fights for the American people and stands up against the liberal agenda.
In the end, it’s not surprising that McCarthy was ousted. The Republicans who voted him out proved that they are not true conservatives. They lacked the conviction and strength necessary to lead our party in these critical times. But with Scalise, we have a leader who will champion our values and put America first.
Let’s rally behind Steve Scalise and let our voices be heard. It’s time for a true conservative leader to take the reins and fight for the future of our great nation. Together, we can make America stronger than ever before!
