Makes little difference, nothing really changes, nothing sensible will get done
Elise Stefanik is such a cnut.
You're probably right, but having Jordan installed into that position is low I never thought I'd ever see the House in.
The grandstanding that is about to emanate from that position will be comical, ironic, and ridiculous.
The next 20ish days are going to be quite something.
Will he be holding the gavel in the Biden impeachment hearing or will he have to relinquish it?
So far 13 Republicans have come out against Jordan in round 1
This is both singularly boring as hell & riveting at the same time.
Are we taking bets as to how many rounds it goes?
Traditionally, unlike other Members, the Speaker does not serve on committees or participate in floor debate. - so in theory I guess he could as it seems to be a tradition rather than a rule
Can't find any bookie odds, but I'd say +/- 7
No way he gives up that media spotlight.
Hakeem Jeffries is beating Gym Jordan. Vote is just about complete.
I'm not so sure, I don't think Jordan really wants this job, I reckon he may say feck this after 2-3 goes, because if it goes any further he's really in the same boat as McCarthy was
That's not news - Jeffries beat McCarthy like that as well until the last round

Jordan allies were boasting they had gotten the no votes down to single digits. He lost by 20.
If the Dems wanna have some fun, they should all nominate Liz Cheney.
Will Jordan beat McCarthy, as in, require even more rounds to become speaker? Time will tell.
He can only afford to lose 4 GOP votes
So he will have to have some that refuse to vote for him at least just vote present and make it easier. Then they can claim they didn't vote for him at least in their campaigns

Has it always been such a pointless and ineffective institution? I don’t remember thinking growing up, “oh we could delete the house and American democracy would be no worse off”
The House's road to its nadir started with the Tea Party ascension in 2010 & fully metastasized today (well, whenever Jordan gets elected).

Not looking good for Jordan on the second round here either. Some of these are completely random votes for people not in Congress. He only got one to flip so far.
Another humiliating defeat for Gym Jordan. Looks like he's done.

Kev still blaming the Dems.
What makes him think there could be a coalition government?
Probably a tangent somehow of the McCarthy 'it's the Dems who have caused all this chaos!'
The only way I see this getting resolved is if a few moderate Republican's do a deal with the Dems, but then Gaetz would just file a motion to vacate every day!
