Leaked Video: One Of The RINOs That’s Keeping Jordan From Winning The Speakership Was Recorded Partying With The Dems At The White House Last Night
Hardline conservative Jim Jordan pressed ahead with his floundering bid for speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, after his fellow Republicans abandoned a backup plan to allow the leaderless chamber to resume business.
The House will hold a third speaker vote when it opens for business at 10:00 ET (1400 GMT) on Friday, his spokesperson Russell Dye said. Jordan has come up short in two votes already.
“I’m still running for speaker and I plan to go to the floor and get the votes and win this race,” Jordan told reporters earlier in the day.
Jordan met with some of the 22 fellow Republicans who have voted against him, but he did not appear to change any minds.
“We all told him that we’re solid no’s. That was the discussion,” Republican Representative Vern Buchanan told reporters. “Now he’s got a decision to make.”
Maybe a leaked video from yesterday can explain why he’s a hard no for Jim Jordan!
Video of Buchanan bowling at the Biden White House went viral on social media:
Buchanan and other members that opposed Jordan’s bid for Speaker met with the Ohio congressman on Thursday night. He reportedly is still against Jordan’s bid for Speaker. Buchanan voted for Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) for Speaker of the House.
Buchanan voted for Jordan in the first round for Speaker.
He wrote on Monday about the need to move forward in his initial vote for Jordan:
Just received a call from @Jim_Jordan and had a very productive conservation. I informed him that I will be offering my support on the House floor. While I have always said that Jim is a good friend, I am deeply frustrated by the way this process has played out.
However, I believe the future and immediate well-being and security of our country is too important and the need for Republicans to move forward united is greater than ever.

‘Hardline conservative Jim Jordan pressed ahead with his floundering bid for speaker…’
i come here for MAGA, not NYT/WaPo/TheAtlantic/DailyBeast horseshyte.
that line was the last line written for your MAGAgrifting clickbait, press release rehashing, parasite jackal ‘news’ site, which will ever be read by this fat old pede.
This is a disgraceful article that further cements vitriol in politics bleeding into human life. These people work together. These people should be building relationships with one another. We need to honestly move towards a culture where being friends with someone from a different political background is not seen as a betrayal but as an opportunity for growth and understanding.
If we wind up with a slimy, lying, cheating, crooked democRAT as speaker like Hakeem Jefferies , and a good chance of that, you can thank Matt Gaetz.
And how would that be any different than what was had under McCarthy? In fact, it speaks volumes to a lack of intelligence to suggest that there’s any difference between parties. Matt Gaetz is one of a handful doing the right thing. The more people that see illusion for what it is, the better, and he has shined a spot light on it.
