There are several factors.
1. Trump is a better target. Scalise is relatively obscure. If Democrats start yelling about Steve Scalise, a lot of the public is going to ask "Who?"
2. Scalise is still somewhat sympathetic as the survivor of a shooting.
3. Politicians tend to get attacked for new stuff, rather than older controversies. AOC, Omar, Tliab and Priessly give plenty of material. Scalise doesn't.
4. There isn't much advantage to going after an obscure figure now. It would be a smarter move to go after him when it's either closer to an election or he's in a position to be the Republican House Leader.
