After two rounds of votes, a group of Republicans had made clear that Jordan did not have enough support to win the speaker’s gavel.

Wow! That's a disappointment. Maybe he was not the right guy all along. We need someone who fights.

Message sent by the RINO Uniparty. No conservative speaker.

The Republican party still needs to be flushed of RINOS.

Unfortunately, if we can't flush them out in the 2024 elections, they will continue to throw up roadblocks to the incoming Trump Adminstration.

People need to undertand that a RINO is not any better than a Democrat. Therefore we need to get out to the primaries and vote accordingly.

If they don’t get to run this country into the ground they will throw a temper tantrum.

No Jim, no powers for interim speaker

Mr. Bowtie will have very limited power..and his tenure will include very specific legislation.

Forget about subpoenas.

Yes, but it is slightly better than having Jeffries leading the ComDem charge.

The US citizens are angry and agitated, and they know the ☭#Dem’s intend to give the vote to all the illegals. And to pack every box they know how to do.

I pray that the content of the election boxes are accurate this time. If not. What can be resorted to next will not be good.

I agree, if anything this shows how fragile the GOP actually is.

I did a search for Jordan but only old stuff came up. The way search works is that it takes the words users pick as search words. Rather than bitch at people for reposting you can help by posting the words you think could be helpful into the keywords.

Incorrect, a least according to the Constitution.

Next in line after Harris would be President Pro Tem of the Senate -- Senator Patty Murray.
