YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Louisiana’s Steve Scalise and Ohio’s Jim Jordan are vying to be the next Speaker of the House. Jordan is known for being a fiery attack dog in his committees and being a frequent voice on Fox News. Scalise spends less time in the spotlight and is popular among the GOP for building consensus among members.

WSJ explains how the two became the frontrunners and how they’re pitching themselves to House Republicans.
