Rep. Jim Jordan, Republican of Ohio, still faces an uphill climb to the House speakership, with at least 10 to 20 Republican members who oppose his nomination, CBS News has learned, based on background conversations over the weekend with six key House Republicans and more than a dozen sources familiar with the deliberations.
“At least 10 to 20,” one of the House Republicans told CBS News on Sunday, while another added that Jordan’s support has grown incrementally in recent days but remains soft.
While Jordan’s confidants remain optimistic that he can get to the necessary 217 votes Tuesday, when the House is scheduled to bring a vote to the floor, several who are more critical of Jordan privately insisted this weekend that at about a dozen Republicans remain unwilling to support him, due to their frustrations over how Rep. Steve Scalise, Republican of Louisiana, was treated during his speaker bid and their simmering anger over the ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. They also are wary of whether Jordan can handle the intensity of the challenges facing Congress in the coming months.
Wouldn’t it be easier just to put McCarthy’s name out there again and lock about 5 Republican obstructionists in a cold, dark room for like 5 hours to get the Speaker vote taken care of
>They are also wary of whether Jordan can handle the intensity of the challenges facing Congress in the coming months
Narrator: “He can’t”
How the fuck are all but 10 or 20 reps voting for this peado loving facist?
How low can they go?
Vulnerable swing-state GOP representatives consider Jimbo politically radioactive for a good reason: He *is* politically radioactive. He’s a chaos agent. The only thing he is “for” is being against things.
Also, he apparently doesn’t own a coat or any other tie than that cheap yellow one. Then there’s the OSU wrestling scandal that will dog him forever.
McHenry is also being mentioned as a possible alternative to win the speakership outright, should Jordan fail to win on the floor this week. But those talks are fluid and many of his supporters are also hoping that McCarthy might see a revival if Jordan collapses.
Jim Jordan doesn’t deserve to be speaker. But then again Mike Pence didn’t deserve to be Vice President.
If just five of them joined Democrats, they could elect Liz Cheney Speaker.
Alternative headline: 10 to 20 republicans are slightly less batshit crazy than the others.
Lauren Boebert can help him out with some lap dances.
To bad the headline isn’t “Jim Jordan is facing 10-20 years in prison “
10 to 20? sounds like 20 “hell no’s”. and 10 “fuck no’s”
Scalise dropped out the next day when he found far less resistance.
“At least 10 to 20,” is a way to describe the lack of support being significant, but is a ducking wide range if they measured who supports him. Gym is toast
Tell him I’ll wrestle him for it
Stop wasting our fucking time republicans. Oh wait that’s the plan.
So the other 30+ put a price on their steadfast beliefs. Go figure.
Republicans are disgusting if there are only 10-20 holding out against a pedo enabler.
Only 10-20 patriotic, sane, honest republicans in the house?
The fact that Jim Jordan could even be in consideration for the speaker job shows how far the Republican party has fallen. He’s just a hate sound bite on Fox News with zero substance.
What is Jim Jordan’s major legislative achievement(s). It’s a big fat ZERO from what I heard. A GOP leader? Actually sounds about right
“Holdouts”?? What do these holdouts want in exchange for their vote? If nothing they aren’t holdouts.
They’re Republicans so they’ll just call those twenty a *minority* and ignore their votes.
Jesus Christ, the fact that this guy can get that many votes. It’s so fucked
One more article from MSM glazing over the fact that fucking Nazi assholes are trying to solidify their control over a big chunk of democracy.
Jeffries is a lot closer.
10 – 20 holdouts did not receive their bundle of cash in the mail.
It sounds like there was major blackmailing going on this weekend. Now Mike Roger’s is simping for Jordan.
Cuz he’s a fucking piece of shit human-being. In case other Republicans no coalescing around a person wasn’t a clear-enough indicator to the character of a person.
He’s literally committing crimes out in the open in GA that are not prosecutable because he’s hiding behind the House’s Speech or Debate Clause like the Fascist cuck coward he is.
The political calculus for the “moderates” is and will remain, which is more politically toxic? Voting for Jordan or working with Democrats?
They ought to be putting Jordan through the wringer on concessions, the same way that McCarthy was, but these jerks probably are more interested in getting back to normal order and are probably talking themselves into the belief that Jordan wouldn’t use the position to grandstand – e.g., holding up must-pass legislation if it doesn’t get majority approval of the subset of Republicans he hails from.
But they know, and probably Jordan knows, that the baseline expectation from voters is chaos and obstruction. If they give Jordan a chance, their voters won’t actually think much less of them or remember the details come the next election. Whereas if they joined with the Democrats, the party would turn on them real quick. That puts vulnerable Republicans in a hard spot in the next election. So Jordan isn’t likely to be in the mood for winning votes through concessions.
If they make him Speaker, it’ll be a rough however many months he lasts.
Gym has to dress for the job he wants. Time to purchase a cheap blazer from Men’s wearhouse and get one of those fancy Amerika flag pins.
Once its a public vote snd those 10-20 face a mean tweet from Trump they will all fold.
Id be shocked if he isnt elected Speaker
Jim Jordan is the literal worst person the GOP could put as speaker. His track record for signing or co-signing bills is literally non-existent. And for as long as he’s been in office he has one of the worst scores when it comes to effective lawmaking.
I can not believe anyone would even consider him. He’s a criminal. He’s an insurectionist. He’s a horrible human.
With Mike Rogers crumbling I think we can expect enough to also crumble unfortunately
Any Republican that votes for him is declaring their platform as pro rape, anti elections and anti America.
Not big shocks, but still….
They are going to elect this lying douchebag groomer adjacent as 2nd in line for the Presidency.
Two russian style accidents and this asshole is the President. Think about that and be very afraid.
So, a secret ballot that’s not so secretive?
#neverjordan
Come on, work with Dems, lets put a real speaker in there , not some Maga Russian puppet
Jim Jordan is a traitor to this country and shouldn’t hold ANY office.
In other words, except for 10 or 20 of them, the entire House Republican caucus supports an insurrectionist and doesn’t believe in competent government.
Another typical stupid Republicon idea.Lets appoint an arsonist to head the fire department.
How about the reds find someone qualified and maybe not a pedo.
My guess is Jordan will get the votes as there is no one else lined up and they are feeling the pressure to put forth a name.
What will happen is moderate Republicans will receive some false promises from Jordan and the rest of the party. Those same Republicans will then be ignored in the same manner Jordan ignored those abused college athletes. Moderate Republicans will lost their seats because a Jordan speakerphone will 10X the shitshow a McCarthy speakership was(which is saying something) starting with a government shutdown in Novemeber.
Also, if Jordan is not vacated before Novemeber expect a Jan6th 2.0 Coup as Jordan will do everything he can as speaker to stop vote Certification.
Strap in your seat belts and put on your shit shields boys, it is about to get nasty.
I wonder what price will be extracted from the country in order for Gym to get his chair
Only 10 to 20? GOP are spineless cowards with no integrity
Party of corruption.
Within the last hour, two “no way I’d support Jordan” Congress people flipped to support him. Spineless bastards.
