The Washington Examiner's Byron York discussed how a Republican member of Congress not being eyed for House speaker could win out if the GOP vote gets divided between two established candidates.
"On the other hand, Jim Jordan has also announced. He’s a powerful figure in the House. As a former champion wrestler, he is aggressive. I’m not sure I would want to run against Jim Jordan at anything," he added. "So, you could have a situation where there’s a bunch of other names. I think we put 13 pictures on the screen just a moment ago. There's a bunch of other names here. You could have [a] situation where two candidates go at each other and split the vote, and it ends up with everybody says, 'Well, we can’t give it to Scalise. We can't give it to Jordan. Pick somebody else, and maybe somebody you had not thought of,'" York said.
