Representative Byron Donalds admits that the pressure campaign waged by some Republicans aiming to install Jim Jordan as the next House speaker has backfired.
Republican Representative Byron Donalds admitted that the 'pressure campaign' waged by some in the GOP aiming to install Congressman Jim Jordan as House speaker has 'backfired.'The House GOP has been wrangling over a speaker nominee since Kevin McCarthy, a California Republican, was ousted from the speakership in a historic 216-210 vote on October 3 after Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida spearheaded an effort to remove him.
Before Jordan's defeat, Donalds took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his endorsement of Jordan.This comes after it was recently reported that some of Jordan's allies had been trying to intimidate GOP lawmakers who aren't backing the Ohio congressman's bid for speaker.
