Monty Python presents: Jim Jordan Falls Short Again
Thoughts and prayers
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Last night, she criticized Jordan in a tweet and said she planned to "vote present or propose another name, if needed procedurally, until Jim reconciles with members."
"While the Republican candidate for speaker is making late night backroom deals to secure the gavel, Leader Jeffries has once again extended the hand of bipartisanship for a path forward," he said.
Jordan is the only candidate in the race for House speaker, but he’s still struggling to win enough support from rank-and-file Republicans to get elected in a formal floor vote.
In addition to Kelly, there are several Republicans on board with the idea of formalizing McHenry’s powers, including Reps. Ken Buck of Colorado, Dave Joyce of Ohio, Carlos Gimenez and Mario Diaz-Balart, both of Florida, and Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon.
“After two weeks without a speaker of the House and no clear candidate with 217 votes in the Republican conference, it is time to look at other viable options," Joyce told NBC News.
Jordan has distanced himself from some of the hardball tactics of his allies and supporters — some of whom have engaged in a very public pressure campaign online and in conservative media against his political opponents.
The original article contains 2,391 words, the summary contains 195 words. Saved 92%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I think the democrats should nominate Trump, so the house GOP can tear itself apart deciding whether to vote for or against him.
Or offer to vote in a compromise candidate, then immediately file a motion to vacate the second he's been elected, and have the GOP vote against their candidate again.
