24 Republicans in Opposition Prevent Jim Jordan from Becoming House Speaker Again

Jim Jordan, who is hailed as a conservative favorite, has once again been unsuccessful in his bid to become the Speaker of the House. This marks the third time that the House has voted for a new Speaker, with Jordan failing to gather enough votes each time.

Jordan’s loss can be attributed to the opposition from 24 Republicans In Name Only (RINOs), who consistently voted against him.

These individuals have shown a clear disregard for the will of the people, choosing instead to align themselves with interests that do not reflect the conservative values they were elected to uphold.

Hakeem Jeffries just called Jim Jordan a “clear and present danger to the American people” before offering his support for Patrick McHenry and others.

If ever there was a unifying mandate for House GOP it’s Jeffries’ disgusting smear of Jim Jordan. We must NOT give Dems what… pic.twitter.com/ZAxCx83DKn

Adding to Jordan’s difficulties, one of his staunch supporters, Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI), decided to go on a fact-finding mission to Israel at a critical time.

His absence during this crucial vote further weakened Jordan’s position, leaving him without enough support to secure the Speaker’s position.

Among the 24 RINOs who opposed Jordan, two new opponents emerged – Brian Fitzpatrick and Tom Kean. Their decision to oppose Jordan highlights the deep divisions within the Republican Party, with many members prioritizing personal interests over party unity.

The list of those who opposed Jordan includes notable names such as Don Bacon, Vern Buchanan, Ken Buck, and Anthony D’Esposito, among others. Their opposition raises questions about their dedication to the principles that the Republican Party stands for.

Look! Jim Jordan is the closest thing we are going to get to a Matt Gaetz.

If we don’t get Jim Jordan for Speaker on the floor at 10 a.m., then prepare for the worst because 13 RINOs don’t want to see him with the gavel if he should prevail. All 13 took money from Sam… pic.twitter.com/upUznzJmxi

To win the Speaker’s position, Jordan needed to convince at least 18 of the 22 RINOs who opposed him.

Despite his best efforts, he fell short of the 214 votes required for victory. This loss is a significant setback for Jordan and the conservative movement as a whole.

This development serves as a reminder of the challenges that conservatives face within their own party. The presence of RINOs undermines the conservative agenda, hindering the rise of true conservative leaders.

Jordan’s loss should be a wake-up call, emphasizing the need for unity within the Republican Party and the importance of electing individuals who genuinely represent conservative values. Only then can the party effectively champion the causes that matter most to its constituents.
