“Jim Jordan’s allies tried to badger Home Republicans into making him speaker. These ways backfired on Tuesday, and will quickly doom his speakership push outright,” Politico reviews.
“The arm-twisting marketing campaign, which in lots of circumstances included veiled threats of main challenges, was meant to assist rally help behind Jordan’s candidacy. As a substitute, it has put the Judiciary chair’s bid on life help and threatened to plunge Home Republicans deeper into turmoil with no clear method out.”
Stated Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE): “Jim’s been good, one-on-one, however his broader workforce has been taking part in hardball.”
