The Republicans opposing Rep. Jim Jordan's bid for speaker made themselves known on the House floor in the first roll call vote Tuesday to elect a new speaker of the House, and with 20 voting against him, he failed to secure a majority in the first round.

When the vote finished, this was the final tally: Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries, of New York, had 212 votes, those of every Democrat, Jordan had 200 GOP votes, six Republicans voted for former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, seven voted for House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three voted for former Rep. Lee Zeldin, of New York. Rep. Mike Garcia, of California, won one vote, as did Rep. Tom Emmer, of Minnesota, and Rep. Tom Massie, of Kentucky.

Here are the Republicans who voted against Jordan on the first vote, so far:

Rep. Don Bacon, of Nebraska, was the first to cast a vote for McCarthy. Rep. Ken Buck, of Colorado, voted for Emmer. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, of Oregon, voted for McCarthy. Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, of New York, voted for Zeldin. Rep. Mario Díaz-Balart, of Florida, voted for Scalise. Rep. Jake Ellzey, of Texas, voted for Garcia. Rep. Andrew Garbarino, of New York, was the second to vote for Zeldin. Rep. Carlos Giménez, of Florida, voted for McCarthy. Rep. Tony Gonzales, of Texas, voted for Scalise. Rep. Kay Granger, of Texas, voted for Scalise. Rep. John James, of Michigan, voted for Cole. Rep. Mike Kelly, of Pennsylvania, voted for Scalise. Rep. Jennifer Kiggans, of Virginia, voted for McCarthy. Rep. Nick LaLota, of New York, voted for Zeldin Rep. Doug LaMalfa, of California, voted for McCarthy. Rep. Michael Lawler, of New York, voted for McCarthy. Rep. John Rutherford, of Florida, voted for Scalise. Rep. Michael Simpson, of Idaho, voted for Scalise. Rep.Victoria Spartz, of Indiana, voted for Massie. Rep. Steve Womack, of Arkansas, voted for Scalise. Rep. Gus Bilirakis, of Florida was absent from the vote.

Gonzales is a sack of schit. Glad that Chip Roy is my Rep.

Now that they’ve had their hissy fit, it is time to vote for Jordan and get someone in there who will fight the irresponsible and traitorous Left.

How come there is no giant media meltdown about how awful it is that the GOP can’t get the votes to put Jordan in and how the RINOs are the worst people in the world? I mean, you’d have thought it was Armageddon when McCarthy couldn’t get them and conservatives were worse than Hitler for not supporting him.

Republican speaker who thought Democrat Pelosi had his back?

That deal with Pelosi went as well for him as his deal with R’s to elevate him to Speaker..

8 R’s held him to his deal..

Why would a Swamp R Team Leader worry about 8 little R’s when he’s got Queen Pelosi on his side?

Oops

Maybe the next R Speaker won’t trust Pelosi.

That’ll be a nice change

He should not have been the speaker to begin with.

After going back on his word the vote should have been 100% to remove.

“Michael Lawler, of New York, voted for McCarthy.”

Talked a big game.
What a worthless stooge he turned out to be.

One and done Mike, one and done.

It’s as if democrats infiltrated the GOP ranks to scuttle things...this is just a speaker vote it usually does not happen...see how democrats stick together...what this means that those GOP congress people taht voted against the caucus selection for no valid reason need to be primaried and are not true party members...Steve Scalise fate is sealed as with McCarthy with 8 or 7 Rino’s voting for them their future is done in the GOP.

I would bet money that the only way Jordan could get the votes would be to do some RINO sellout stuff, which will then make him living on borrowed time.

This would be a great opportunity for Free Republic phone-a-thon.

Does anyone have a list of the offices of these Reps.

Lets light em up and KEEP Calling.

Especially IF any of you are represented by these RINOS.
