Another one bites the dust
Oct. 21st, 2023 05:08 pmNot only not the Speaker of the House, but no longer even the Republican nominee: House Republicans drop Jim Jordan as their nominee for speaker, stumbling back to square one
( Three strikes and he's out! )
The official tally of the third House ballot was 210 votes for Democratic House leader Hakeem Jeffries, 194 for Jordan, 25 for various not-Jordan Republicans, and four members not voting. Reportedly the private vote in the GOP conference to keep Jordan as their nominee was 112 nays and 86 yeas.
I have no clue where this goes next, although I'm guessing it's going nowhere slowly and painfully.
