Newsy Nugget: In the candidate forum, Rep. Ken Buck asked both Scalise and Jordan if Trump won or lost the last election, per sources.

Multiple House Rs felt both equivocated. One said both “tried to have it both ways.” They argued how some states changed their laws bc covid…
and some GOP members thought they insinuated Trump lost bc of how states had changed their election practices.

I’m told Rep. French Hill then stood & tried to follow up and push for a direct answer but wasn’t successful.

One said centrist looked quite displeased by it all.
Told the specific question Buck asked: “Can you unequivocally and publicly state the election was not stolen.”

Neither him nor Hill got a direct answer

New: Some of McCarthy’s biggest critics in the spending fight have something in common: Building their political profiles for likely statewide bids. W/ @sarahnferris

-Bishop = NC AG
-Gaetz = FL gov
-Norman = primary Sen. Graham
-Rosendale = Mont. Senate
politico.com/live-updates/2…
Bishop is the only one who has formally declared and he's leading the McCarthy ouster push, telling @jordainc today that he has a member in mind as an McCarthy alternative.

And 3/4 — Bishop, Norman and Rosendale — caused a humiliating setback for GOP leadership Tues w/ DOD bill
House Rs see Gaetz’s actions this week as proof of his future ambitions, esp. his public attacks ag. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), a key negotiator of the House GOP’s spending plan who is seen as a likely rival in the race to succeed term-limited Gov. Ron DeSantis.

NEW: During GOP conference today, House Rs did about a 15-min fundraising auction for chapstick used by Speaker McCarthy.

The winner: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), whose winning bid was $100,000, her Spox confirms to me.
Others bid on it as well, but MTG ultimately won: And as bidding went on, McCarthy would sweeten the deal, throwing in agreeing to attend a dinner with donors/supporters for whoever wins, Spox confirmed.

The chapstick specifically was a Rep. Aaron Bean campaign chapstick.
Bean was the auctioneer (filling the shoes of former Rep. Billy Long it seems)

CRENSHAW (R-Texas) on if it was a mistake to give 1/6 tapes to Tucker:

“I don't really have a problem with making it all public. But if your message is then to try and convince people that nothing bad happened, then it's just gonna make us look silly.”
He also said: “I don't think transparency is ever a mistake. I think Tucker's message doesn't make any sense.“
Asked if this is something the party really wants to be talking about again, he said: “it's definitely stupid to keep talking about this. …So what is the purpose of continuing to bring it up unless you're trying to feed Democrat narratives even further?”

NEW: New NY Rs going all out to distance themselves from Rep. Santos, fearing his scandal will blowback on them—ie. squeamish donors & suspicious voters.

“He is a bludgeoning tool the Democrats are using without regard for truth,” — Rep. Molinaro (R-NY)
politico.com/news/2023/03/0…
“Every time that we’re having a conversation we seem to be talking about George Santos,” echoed Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.).

But Santos dismissed his problems will impact his colleagues: “I don’t believe it. I think that’s just platitudes. And they’re making stuff up…
as they go just to find excuses to do what they’re doing,” Santos said of his fellow New York Republicans’ attacks. “The reality is simple: I was never a part of the little boys’ club, and they hated me from the moment I got the nomination to the moment I got elected.”

Growing GOP chatter/concern among some GOP members who may have to miss the speakership vote if it keeps dragging out due to various circumstances.

Have heard the names of three so far.

Thread x2
1. Hern's mom died this week (Told the funeral is on Saturday and if votes go through weekend, he will miss them)

2. Wesley Hunt's wife just gave birth (Haven't heard if he will/will not actually miss votes, but his name is being raised)
3. Roger Williams has a family matter (but despite the chatter, told he will NOT be missing any speaker votes)

BOEBERT at mics nominating Kevin Hern for speaker

Sats they've been accused of not having a plan, and says we have "many, many plans"
The pro-McCarthy members applaud when Boebert says she is going to keep her speech short

She goes: Ill take it
Boebert says Hern "went from rags to riches, like myself and many other members." and that he is a conservative and "he is not mad about it."
