House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) is attempting to undermine Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan’s (R-OH) bid for the Speakership gavel after voting for him on the first ballot, sources familiar with the matter have confirmed to Breitbart News.
CNN’s Annie Grayer noted on X that the majority leader would not commit to helping Jordan secure the 17 outstanding votes he needs for the top House job. This is despite Jordan requesting his aid, as the House has not had a Speaker since now-former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was removed on October 3. Sources on Capitol Hill have confirmed Grayer’s reporting to Breitbart News.

I’m fine. It’s the rest of you weaklings wetting the bed that are in trouble.
If there isn’t unity to support Jordan we are in for worse times ahead.
One analyst said being over 200 votes was symbolically important.
However, if some drop away on the next ballot it will be trouble. If our side wants Trump and Jordan wants Trump then what is their problem with him?
That’s why you’re whining about everyone, because your fine?
That’s just lovely. smh
Seems he been dining out on that incident in the baseball diamond in 2017 which gained him sympathy. If not for that, nobody would know who he is.
I don’t know why this is news. I’ve never trusted him.
The R idiots in the House are going to F around and give us Jeffries as SoH.
When re-election time comes, they will go to the voters and lie through their teeth about how great they are and that they did not betray them and that if they are not re-elected the world will end.
Merely a formality since most of them want that money flowing.

I know, all liberal sites/outlets. They’re always wrong.
All the Democrats and more than enough Republicans want the money.
It’s damned stupid to take the action he did without a backup plan.

They told us to stay inside and only use the underground tunnels. Biden admin wants to go to war.”
Why did he need a back up plan?
McCarthy was giving Biden and the Democrats anything they wanted. Are you OK with that?
