Scalise to Miss Votes Through February While Recovering from Cancer

Bradley Jaye 5 Jan 2024

House Majority Leader Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) will not return to Washington until February as he receives a stem cell transplant during his treatment for cancer, his office announced.

His office released a statement Friday providing an update on his treatment for multiple myeloma:

Last month, Leader Scalise successfully completed induction chemotherapy and had a positive response. It has now been determined he is eligible for an autologous stem cell transplant. He is currently undergoing the transplant process, marking a significant milestone in his battle against cancer. Once the procedure is completed, he will be recovering under the supervision of his medical team and will work remotely until returning to Washington next month. He is incredibly grateful to have progressed so well, and is thankful to his entire medical team, family, friends, and colleagues for their prayers and support.

Scalise’s absence comes at a critical time for House Republicans as they face battles on multiple fronts with the slimmest – now even slimmer – of margins.

The House faces two government funding deadlines on January 19 and February 2, is endeavoring to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas despite a handful of uneasy Republicans, and is moving forward with its formal impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden with — until now — a target date of perhaps February for a House vote.
