Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) holds “no” hope that he will be elected Speaker of the House, the congressman admitted on Tuesday evening after Republicans failed to unite behind Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

When asked if there was any chance that he would be Speaker of the House, Jordan flatly dismissed the prospect.

“No,” he said, explaining that he simply desires to chair the Judiciary Committee.

So, Gang Of 20, what’s the plan?

Beyond running around and trying to blackmail McCarthy into giving them plum Committee assignments, is there a plan?

Jim does not want to wear that tight crown of thorns!
He has always said this over the years.

If McCarthy can’t herd Repub cats, he’s not fit for the job.

They know at this point whether he can get the numbers. He can’t on this round.

He has been 100% consistent about this. Despite the wishful thinking of some FReepers.

Fourth vote is now being taken, and McCarthy doesn't have the votes. There will be a fifth vote.

Interestingly, Jordan is no longer the alternate candidate, Byron Donalds is.

CEOs are used to giving “orders”, not building consensus.
Also, don’t you think running a POTUS campaign while being SotH might be an issue?
If you’re just kidding, never mind…

In an op-ed piece, someone said to bring on Elon Musk. Don’t recall the site, but was a fun thought for a moment.

“what the hell are you doing guys??”

They are buying time trying to figure out how to get a compromise and vote for a DemRat for speaker. It’s what republication do, they like to screw US.

If makes me furious that u paid your bet off.
You bet me that McCarthy would win 1st vote.
Round 4 and McCarthy has already lost again.
You should find another hobby.
Making predictions not working for you.
