Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, talks with reporters as House Republicans meet again behind closed doors to find a path to elect a new speaker after …Rep. Jim Jordan, Ohio Republican, gained more support over the weekend from his fellow Republicans to become speaker, Rep. Thomas Massie, a member of Mr. Jordan’s whip team, told The Washington Times.
On the first round, Jordan’s support will be somewhere between 180 and 200 votes, he said. “And then, it grows quickly from there.” “Then they’ll converge toward Jordan. I think it’ll be a lot to jump on after the first or second round.” The House has been unable to do business and pass legislation since Mr. McCarthy’s ouster and unable to conduct normal business or pass legislation, placing pressure on GOP lawmakers to choose a new speaker as war breaks out in the Middle East between Israel and Hamas.
