DEVELOPING: Jim Jordan Re-Enters Race For Speaker After Scalise Drops Out
House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) will run for House Speaker again after Steve Scalise dropped out of the race Thursday night.
“House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan said on Friday that he is re-entering the race for speaker, just a day after the GOP’s nominee, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, dropped his bid for the top job after failing to lock up enough support.” – NBC News reported.
Jim Jordan and Rep. Steve Scalise announced their bid for House Speaker last week.
House Republicans on Wednesday voted behind closed doors and chose Scalise as the nominee for Speaker in a 113-99 vote.
113 RINOS part from Jim Jordan. What a disgrace — Scalise is McCarthy in the flesh.
