In response to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) doubtlessly forcing a speaker vote on the Home ground, anti-Jordan votes threatened to not present up and let Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) win the election.
That is how poisonous issues have grow to be on the Republican aspect of the Home:
👀 “What occurs when Jordan forces us to the ground to attempt to stress us and rapidly we don’t present up and Hakeem Jeffries is speaker trigger he wished to be a bully ?” one upset Home Republican simply texted me.

What occurs if 5 or extra anti-Jordan voters had been busy at residence washing their hair when the vote for speaker was held?
Democrats would outnumber Republicans and Jeffries could be elected. It’s not doubtless that Republicans wouldn’t present up, however the truth that they’re floating the concept demonstrates how poisonous the scenario has grow to be within the Republican caucus.
There are some Home Republicans who don’t wish to be pushed into voting for Jordan, and if they’re pushed, they might lash out in ways in which Republicans aren’t ready for.
Issues have gotten even uglier for Home Republicans and the warning is evident that there’s a faction who does need Jim Jordan to be Speaker of the Home.
