Republican Rep. Jim Jordan will not hold a third ballot to be speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and will instead back empowering interim speaker Patrick McHenry, The Washington Post and Punchbowl said on Thursday.

There is no indication Jordan will withdraw from contention for the chamber's top job.

Jordan, of Ohio, declined to comment ahead of a meeting of Republicans.

Legitimately the WORST option. This is no better than giving Jefferies the gavel.

We've got to elect a freakin speaker.

What a huge loss for all true conservatives. McHenry might as well be a Democrat. Has one of the liberalist voting records in the House.

There needs to be some big time campaigning against whomever the holdouts are. Give them a 3 day warning before another vote and tell them the gloves come off against anybody still on the fence.

Here comes the continuing resolution that your friendly DC neighborhood lobbyists has been fighting for.

Let the grift continue.

GTFOH. Yeah the market was doing so great while McCarthy was running the House and Potato was napping all damn day.



All 22 traitors need to be called out and primaried. Cowardice and corruption at its finest.

What's keeping the white house from dismissing subpoenas and impeachment inquiries as illegitimate with a temporary speaker


Where were all the subpoenas and impeachment inquiries when we had a legitimate speaker? All you got were a few hearings and a lot of talk.

This is a horrible idea for them. Obviously, Jordan wouldbe in over his head as a speaker with such a decision. Might this decision prove he is a RINO in elephant skin?

After all, have any arrests been made?
