    Jordan Still Doesn’t Have the Votes

    In a second secret vote in the House Republican Conference, Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) got just 155 votes from members would said they vote for him on the House floor, with 55 saying they would not.

    Jordan is far short of the 217 votes he would need to win the speakership

      I’m cynical af, but my take is: never underestimate the “moderate republicans” willingness to bend the knee to the freedom caucus, and Trump.
