As House Republicans work on finding a new speaker, they must remember why they have a majority in the first place.
Republicans nominated Rep. Jim Jordan for speaker last week. Unsurprisingly, he failed. The 22 Republican Jordan detractors included five freshman representatives from districts Biden won in 2020, plus Rep. Don Bacon . Bacon represents a district that gave Biden an electoral vote in 2020. Anyone who spreads conspiracy nonsense about elections and vaccines and closely associates themselves with Trump, arguably the most disliked president of the polling era, will have a hard time earning the necessary support from blue-district Republicans.
Reps. Kevin Hern , Mike Johnson , Byron Donalds , Jack Bergman , Pete Sessions , Dan Meuser , and Gary Palmer all voted against certifying the 2020 presidential election results. Donalds, Bergman, Sessions, Meuser, and Palmer have all endorsed the Trump 2024 campaign.
