While nominating Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker, Rep. Pete Aguilar (D-CA) wrecked Mike Johnson for being an election denier who can appease Donald Trump and said GOP election deniers have forfeited their ability to lead.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) and his allies say that they are committed to staying in the Speaker race, but new reporting says that if Republicans vote again, Jordan is bleeding support and will be crushed.
Once Rep. Jim Jordan’s second attempt at being elected Speaker of the House fails, House Republicans are expected to introduce a resolution to elevate acting Speaker pro tem Patrick McHenry to the post for a limited period.
At least two House Republicans are voting against Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House because he refuses to say that the 2020 election was not stolen and Biden won.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) thinks that he can wear down his opposition and become the next Speaker of the House, but 20 House Republicans are solid votes against him.
In contrast to the chaos among House Republicans, House Democrats renominated Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in less than 10 minutes.
It illustrates the contrast between the two parties that the candidate currently with the most votes to be elected Speaker of the House is Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
Trump endorsed Rep. Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House, but Jordan still doesn’t have the votes to win and be elected.
The story coming out of the House Republican caucus is only getting crazier. Rep. Paul Ryan is refusing to run for Speaker while John Boehner is being forced to stick around until a new leader can be found.
