The most popular Republican in the United States Congress was just knifed by a secret ballot

in a private meeting in the basement of the Capitol.

It's a swampiest swamp gets and Jim Jordan deserves better than that.

Hi everybody, House Republicans will return on Monday at 6.30pm for a candidate form

followed by an election process on Tuesday morning at 9am.

The reason why I made that decision is we need space and time for candidates to talk to

other members.

It's fair to say that Leader Scalice wasn't given that a quick time, he had 24 hours of

campaign.

I don't think that was right for him.

Our nominee, Jordan, was given a little more time, not right for him.

The conference made a decision, they were going to move forward with a new speaker nominee

today.

But the space and time for a reset is, I think, an important thing for House Republicans.

Manu, Jim Jordan now officially out of the race, tell us what happened.

Yeah, they have a here right now, right outside this very chaotic moment where Republicans

just voted about whether or not Jim Jordan should continue on as the candidate for speaker.

They voted against him, they voted essentially to say that he should drop out of this race

and now there's going to be a candidate for him next week on Monday for new speaker candidates

who could yet emerge and then a potential speaker vote on Tuesday.

I'm here with Congressman Dusty Johnson, who was in that room just now.

Congressman Johnson explained to us what happened in the room and is Jim Jordan officially
