Jordan lost 20 votes on Monday during the first round. The Republicans did not hold a second round, which is expected today.The House meets at 11:00 AM. A quorum call will happen, likely followed by the same old nomination speeches. Republicans will nominate Jordan. Democrats will nominate Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.If Mr. Jordan fails this time, he should withdraw his candidacy.
To the Republicans, he should stress the need for solidarity, especially when the majority is thin. He should point out that however odious the Democratic caucus has been, they’ve never had a problem voting in solidarity for their speaker. Solidarity, and winning elections, is the whole point of a political party.The problem is not Jordan- it is that a conservative is running for Speaker.
