Jim Jordan says he’s been picking up support every day and feels good ahead of the vote for House speaker
The U.S. Capitol is seen on Monday, Oct. 16, 2023, in Washington. Republicans are heading to the House for the second time this Congress to try and elect a speaker, marking what they hope will be a unifying moment for a party that has been in turmoil for weeks. on Jim Jordan's nomination for speaker on Tuesday afternoon, two weeks after the chamber ousted Kevin McCarthy from the top spot.
“With the House in disarray, the Senate will not wait to vote on an Israeli aid package,” the New York Democrat said on the floor. “We can’t wait for the House. Who knows what will happen there?”While Jordan has made a reputation as a chaos agent in his time in Congress, the Ohio Republican, unlike previous speaker candidates, has no real legislative chops.
Should Jordan succeed, it would help cement the far right’s takeover of the Republican Party and trigger fresh conflict with Democrats over the size and scope of government. “There’s too much at stake to continue to be stalled,” he posted on X, the website formerly known as Twitter. “I came to D.C. to work—not sit around.”
