Santos Throws Tantrum, Vows Not to Support Scalise for Speaker Over Lack of Outreach

Rep. George Santos threw a tantrum and vowed not to support Rep. Steve Scalise for Speaker because Scalise didn't call to ask for his support.

Santos is irked Scalise hasn't reached out since he took office and says his vote doesn't matter to Scalise.

Santos declared he won't vote for Scalise for Speaker, which could impact the race with the House almost evenly divided.

Santos faces criminal charges and expulsion efforts, but may be using his Speaker vote as leverage.

If expelled, Santos' seat could flip to Democrats in a special election, so Republicans may be reluctant to remove him.
