#WHIP LIST: Scalise races to lock down votes for Speaker
Table of Contents
House Republicans on Wednesday officially nominated Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) to be Speaker.

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.
