House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, the Louisiana Republican nearly killed at a June congressional baseball practice shooting, made a surprise audio appearance to the GOP whip meeting Monday night — his first since the tragedy.

Scalise, who called up chief deputy whip Patrick McHenry's phone to be conferenced in, was in good spirits, according to sources in the room. He said he was eager to get back to work and jokingly asked: "Has the Senate passed the health care bill yet?"

Members whooped and cheered, as Scalise was instrumental in helping the long-stalled Obamacare repeal bill get through the House.
