The House is set to vote today on the nomination of Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to be the next Speaker of the House.
"The American people deserve to have their Congress, the House of Representatives working," Jordan told reporters in the Capitol on Monday night."We can't have that until we have a speaker."Republicans held one final closed-door meeting Monday night ahead of the vote for members to share their frustrations, grievances and questions for Jordan.
"It's not about Jim – it's about Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise and how they were treated," Bacon said."I respect people have different opinions on this. We need a speaker. We've got a world on fire. But we didn't put us there — I didn't put us there. The small group that took out Kevin and then blocked Steve have put us in this spot."
