He is the last person who should be speaker. When Steve Scalise received more votes than him in their conference vote, Jordan should have endorsed him.
Hence the label “legislative terrorist”. It’s not new behavior.
Spartz’ unwillingness to support ANYONE is very disturbing. This entire process is not only debilitating for the nation but for the GOP. They are playing with political fire.
Spartz was over her head when she was elected and has deteriorated markedly the last year.
The Republican Party hasn’t been a serious party for a decade at least. This is just another example. Maybe our Republican representatives, to borrow the phrase they laid on America and never followed through on, should be repealed and replaced …
Didn’t she threaten to resign? Maybe it’s time.
On second thought…maybe she should sell her vote to Jordan in return for including Ukraine aid in the next stopgap/continuing funding resolution.
She’s now fallen in with not wanting aid to Ukraine without strings attached. The Ukrainians say it’s because they wouldn’t buy arms from a contractor she pushed, a charge she denies.
It’s rather odd, if you ask me.

You know, the Republicans have manufactured this whole crisis. This is so far from a normal political party it’s scary.
They have forgotten that compromise is an easy path to securing a new speaker. They just need to nominate someone that could pick up a dozen or even a hundred votes from those hateful “Libs”. But no, they nominate someone that IN 16 YEARS in Congress has never written a bill that has passed into law.
But that’s what the Republicans in the House are selling: do nothing. So he’s the perfect leader for them.
When an entire political party outwardly states that they hate government and want to dismantle it, believe them
^^^This. Thank you for saying it better than I did.
They care more about their “pet projects” than the people they represent. They work for us. Quit being so childish and do the job you were elected to do.
There’s the rub: many of them were actually elected in strongly pro-Trump districts, so they think there’s only one constituent they have to satisfy.
The interim speaker needs to make them stay until someone is elected. He should never had sent them home when they got rid of McCarthy. Ignorant move and he is a horrible interim speaker. Lock them in a room until they get someone elected.
If they keep going into recess after one vote, no one is ever going to get elected. Force negotiations on the floor like they did with McCarthy.
I don’t think the Republicans voting against Jordan are going to vote for him whether they are held on the floor or go into recess. It’s comforting to know there are some sane Republicans in the House, even if none are from Indiana (sorry, Spartz doesn’t fall into that category…she’s already indicated she’ll not seek election and I think good riddance to a bad idea). I suspect the ultimate resolution will be for the New York Republicans to work with the Democrats to find a moderate Dem, not Jefferies, around whom the Ds and a relative handful of Rs can coalesce and make the new Speaker. If these Rs from NY vote for the likes of Jordan, or even some other Trump supporter, they will not win reelection. Better to go out and campaign saying they tried to be bipartisan, to act in the best interests of the country, and let the voters decide between them and a Democrat opponent, than to allow a Trumpy to be made Speaker.
It will probably take the impending government shutdown for a few of these folks get serious about reopening the House, probably around Halloween.
You’re right, those Rs from Biden-voting (anti-Trump) congressional districts should form a caucus and make a deal with the Democrats. While it might get them a primary opponent, it will play better in a general election to demonstrate that they’re grownups who want to do the job they were elected to do.
***play better in a COMPETITIVE general election…
