[1/3] Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks at the close of the Seventh Assembly of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada August 25, 2023. Right now, most opinion polls show Trudeau significantly trailing his newest rival, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. But none are perceived to be as scrappy and determined at retail politics as Trudeau is, Liberal insiders and pollsters say. No Canadian prime minister since Wilfrid Laurier in 1908 has won four consecutive elections. In 2015, Ekos had the Liberals down 22 percentage points in the spring and Trudeau won a majority in the fall.

Doctors Without Borders in Gaza said 100% of patients treated on Wednesday were kids. Doctors Without Borders told Insider that, on Wednesday, in fact, 100% of their patients were children. That blockade is one of the biggest concerns for Doctors Without Borders staff, Brienne Prusak, a spokesperson with the nonprofit, told Insider. "Everything that was available has been purchased and distributed within the local markets, and it's impossible to get aid from outside," Sosebee told Insider. "When this ends, we can only imagine the amount of effort and attention that needs to go into trying to repair the damages in Gaza," Sosebee told Insider.

With the nomination, which required the support of a majority of Republicans, a chamber-wide vote on the House floor is expected to follow.

House Republicans are set to nominate a new speaker Wednesday, more than a week after the historic ouster of California Rep. Kevin McCarthy, as the chamber has been thrust into an unprecedented standstill. Two candidates have formally announced their bid for the speakership – House Majority Leader Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio. But with a razor-thin GOP majority in the chamber, whether either can get the votes needed to secure the gavel remains to be seen. The rule change, sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy, a Texas Republican, appears to have strong support in the conference. Still, McCarthy told reporters Tuesday evening that he instructed members of his conference not to nominate him.

CNN —House Republicans picked Rep. Steve Scalise as their nominee for speaker on Wednesday, but the Louisiana Republican lacks the votes needed to win the gavel and it remains unclear whether he will be able to win over holdouts. Scalise won out over Rep. Jim Jordan in a closed-door vote by the House GOP conference to pick their speaker nominee on Wednesday. House Republicans hold a narrow majority and Scalise can only afford to lose four GOP votes on the floor and still win the speakership. McCarthy’s ouster, which was driven by a group of hardline conservatives, has intensified deep divisions within the House GOP conference and escalated tensions. Scalise is a veteran of House GOP leadershipScalise has risen through the ranks of leadership during his time in Congress.

Lawmakers exiting the room said Scalise won 113 votes, while Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, the House Judiciary Committee chairman, took 99. With Scalise falling well short of 217 in the conference vote, the Louisiana congressman's path to the speakership is uncertain. House members are seated during the speakership vote. The candidate to become speaker needs a majority of the votes from House members who are present and voting. Historically, the magical number to become speaker has been 218 out of the 435 members of the House.

[1/5] U.S. House Majority Leader and candidate for next U.S. Speaker of the House Steve Scalise (R-LA) arrives for a meeting with members of Florida's House of Representatives, after Kevin McCarthy was ousted as House speaker, at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, U.S., October 10, 2023. It took only eight Republicans to oust McCarthy last week, a fact that could make leading the caucus a challenge for any new speaker. Scalise appeared to have the support of many veteran and establishment Republicans including party leaders, while Jordan drew endorsements from others including Trump-style populists. Other candidates could also emerge, including McCarthy, who continues to have support among a number of Republicans and said on Monday he would take the job back if asked to by House Republicans. But not all House Republicans agree that the chamber should move quickly to replace McCarthy.

The U.S. Capitol is seen at night as Republicans work towards electing a new Speaker of the House, on Capitol Hill in Washington, U.S., October 9, 2023. While McCarthy was the first speaker to be ousted in a formal vote, the last two Republicans to hold the job wound up leaving under pressure from party hardliners. Scalise appeared to have the support of many veteran and establishment Republicans including party leaders, while Jordan drew endorsements from others including Trump-style populists. Other candidates could also emerge, including McCarthy, who continues to have support among a number of Republicans and made clear on Monday that he would serve again as speaker if House Republicans asked him to do so. But not all House Republicans agreed that the chamber should move quickly to replace McCarthy, saying lawmakers are still grappling with the shock of his ouster.

Scalise and Jordan will address the House GOP during a candidate forum at 5 p.m. this evening.

It is unclear whether Scalise or Jordan can secure the 217 votes needed to win the speakership on the House floor. Scalise said Monday that House Republicans needed to "get back on track" after McCarthy's ouster exposed deep divisions between hard-right Republicans led by Gaetz and more centrist members. Paul Ryan, a former speaker of the House, told CNBC he doesn't see a path forward for McCarthy.
