The top 10 neighbors for Steve Scalise form a tightly compressed cluster of Republican politicians and conservative media figures, with scores spanning only 0.91 to 0.95 — a flat band that reflects a highly consolidated audience rather than any single dominant pull.
The shape is flat. Lindsey Graham leads at 0.95, followed closely by Mark Meadows (0.93), GOP (0.93), and Tom Cotton (0.93). The fifth neighbor, Ainsley Earhardt (0.92), is the first departure from the Politicians subcategory — she is classified as a Journalist. Tallying the top 10: six are Politicians (Lindsey Graham, Mark Meadows, Tom Cotton, Newt Gingrich, Rep. Doug Collins, Kevin McCarthy), two are Political Groups (GOP, House Republicans), one is a Journalist (Ainsley Earhardt), and one is a TV Personality (Bill Hemmer at 0.91, tied with FOX & Friends and Janice Dean — though only the top 10 are counted here). The dominant pattern is same-kind: most neighbors share Scalise's own Politicians subcategory, with the non-politician entries drawn from conservative broadcast media rather than any unrelated domain.
The narrow score range and same-kind composition together indicate an audience that is deeply embedded in a single political-media ecosystem, with little structural overlap reaching outside it in the top 10.
