Representative Jordan has expressed his anticipation for another vote on the Speaker of the House position. This comes amidst growing political tensions and reshuffling within the Republican Party.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier Thursday that Rep. Jim Jordan withdrew from the Speaker’s race today after 22 RINOs derailed his vote for Speaker of the US House of Representatives.
Jordan was clearly the grassroots favorite, but the GOPe successfully blocked his attempt to lead the Republican Party.
The Republican lawmakers who prevented this will certainly face primary challengers as they should.
There will be no vote for Speaker again until January at least. Jim Jordan is bowing out for now.
Instead, he will back McCarthy ally Patrick McHenry as interim Speaker until January. That is three months from now.
Jake Sherman, the founder of Punchbowl News, has confirmed that Jordan has expressed a desire to meet with these 20 RINOs.

Florida Rep. Scott Franklin told Max Cohen congressional reporter of Punchbowl News that “as a group we just decided that’s not moving forward,” referring to the McHenry temporary empowerment resolution. “Jordan’s gonna go make some more phone calls, we may see another vote today.”
Rep. Andrew Clyde, a Jordan supporter, also says he expects another speaker vote today.
