'I was proud to support conservative leader Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House,” Rogers said.
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., arrives for a House Republican Conference meeting in the U.S. Capitol on the speaker of the House nomination on Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023. U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Alabama, said he is “strongly opposed” to a coalition government following the failed nomination of Rep. Jim Jordan for speaker of the House and his initial refusal to support the Ohio congressman.
Jordan’s bid for speaker failed Friday after losing three votes. House Republicans voted in a secret ballot after the 86-112 defeat on the House floor to remove Jordan as their nominee. His office is also denying that there was ever any support for a Democratic coalition. And while Rogers hasn’t signaled support for a new speaker nomination, his communications director said his choice ultimately will be a conservative Republican.
