Rep. Jim Jordan, founding chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, has confirmed that he plans to enter the House Speakers race to succeed outgoing Speaker Paul Ryan.
Jordan made the announcement on The Curt Schilling Podcast on Monday. If and when there is a Speakers race, I plan on being part of that discussion, Jordan said, before adding that the GOP needs to focus on the kind of things we told the American people we were going to do if they want to have a Speakers race at all. (RELATED: Jim Jordan Considering Running for Speaker of the House).
We get the right kind of immigration bill across the finish line, we actually make the tax cuts permanent, we fight for the values we told the American people [we would], we reform welfare. I mean, these are the kind of things we told the American people we were going to do and I think more important than who the Speaker is next year is what we do this year because if we dont do the right things this year we might not have a race for Speaker. Maybe it would be a race for minority leader so lets stay focused on what we got to do and everything else will take that step.
To the chagrin of conservative voters, Paul Ryan has carried on the establishment tendencies of ousted former House Speaker John Boehner. In contrast, Speaker hopefuls like House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Majority Whip Steve Scalise have made an effort to appeal to the working-class voters who elected President Donald Trump.

which is exactly why he will never be it
We can push him across the line.
So what can the peons do to support Jordan?
Last time I called my back bencher Critter’s office to advocate for the dark horse (I forget who it was at the time) but I was ignored, as usual.
Rep Andy Biggs petitioned the house tonight to censor and condemn Maxine Waters for her recent actions
Please call and leave a message with your representative and ask them to vote yes on this action
https://www.contactingcongress.org
It took less than a minute to pull up number with your zip code, call and leave a message
YES!
This would have been my shortest post ever If would have left well alone and not added this stupid comment at the end that will be of interest to absolutely no one.
But while Im at it: JIM JORDAN WOULD MAKE A GREAT SPEAKER. But, alas, you have to be a true mushy headed GOP centrist to get elected to that position.
Fingers crossed but Im not hopeful. But I do hope Im wrong.
Hope he makes it. He would be a great Speaker to work with our great President.
Calling my reps now and will remind them later.
We absolutely MUST remove the weasels.
Awesome...
Pay closer attention.
The freedom caucus are the good guys.
Like my Rep. Dave Brat, who we elected to replace the weasel Eric Cantor the day before he was going to betray US and pass Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill with Democrat and Bush League Republican votes.
I understand.
There was however some Republican caucus, from somewhere down south, which just was not on the right side about something, important to me.
I think it was very similar to this. Might be the same group.
Sorry I do not remember all of the details.
Sort of in some way, related to the break in the GOP during the election, between Ted Cruz, and Donald Trump.
Something related to that, I think.
The Dems aren’t going to like that. He’s no wimp.
Get rid of Paul Rino.
Can he start tomorrow??
If I remember correctly, the Freedom Caucus torpedoed the first attempt to repeal Obamacare, and while admittedly it was a terrible bill, the President was annoyed because they said one thing in the meeting with him and then another thing when they actually started voting.
But since that hiccup, they’ve been more or less thoroughly loyal to MAGA.
He’s too good to be chosen by that group of cowardly backstabbers.
Why bother with censure? Why not impeachment of Ms. Waters?
How do we help Jim get the votes he needs? Or do you want to have another Ryan eunuch as Speaker? I don’t and neither does President Trump!!
DC switchboard: 202-224-3121
Start calling in your support for Congressman Jim Jordan to be the next Speaker of the House.
Agreed. I’m sure if any violence happen as a result of her mouth that will be next.
Thanks.
Like I said. It was a long time ago and I do not recall exactly what the issue was.
Much appreciated.
