Jordan can only afford to lose four caucus members if he wants to win the gavel.earlier this month.
Jordan himself has indicated that he would not support the resolution. “I think we should get a Republican speaker. I got 90 percent of the Republicans in the conference supporting me,” he told reporters. Unfortunately for Jordan, he needs more than 90 percent. McCarthy had the support of all but eight members of the conference. Jordan remains ever further from away gaining the gavel than McCarthy was from keeping it.
