As the US House gets ready for a THIRD vote try by Ohio Republican Jim Jordan?
His futile efforts to ‘brute force’ support is dwindling ….
Trump Era tactics ain’t working….
The number to win is 214 today….
The vote begins….
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) lost additional support on the third ballot for the speaker’s gavel on Friday, adding to the narrative that his effort is a zombie campaign.
Why it matters: Some House Republicans are growing impatient and saying they don’t want a repeat of the 15 ballots it took to elect former Speaker Kevin McCarthy in January.
Driving the news: 25 House Republicans voted for candidates other than Jordan on the third ballot, compared to 22 on the second ballot and 20 on the first.
- All House Democrats voted for Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), as they have on every ballot in 2023.
Between the lines: Multiple GOP lawmakers told Axios they expect lawmakers to keep abandoning Jordan on each future ballot….

Extra Bonus Quote of the Day
“We’re in a very bad place right now.”
— Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), to reporters after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) failed again to win a majority for speaker.
ALL this BULL SHIT while President Biden handles conflicts in Europe and the Middle East….
So the hoodlum loses again.
Those Republicans who voted against this piece of garbage really need to do some soul searching.
Really?This is the kind of party you want to be associated with?
Jordan is now out
So now it’s Tom Emmer of Minnesota, Mike Johnson of Louisiana, Byron Donald’s of Florida, Kevin Hern of Oklahoma and Jack Bergman of Michigan all running for Speaker.
Never heard of most of them and if you add all 5 together they wouldn’t have the balls of Nacy Pelsoi
Nancy Pelosi. Sheesh fat fingers!
