Summary
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2:
- According to Audrey Fahlberg of National Review, “three avowed ‘no’ votes—Representatives Mike Rogers (R-AK), Ken Calvert (R-CA), and Ann Wagner (R-MO)—all [signaled] in public statements that they will reverse course and back [Jim] Jordan’s bid.” The House is expected to have a floor vote to decide the next speaker on Tuesday afternoon.
- In a closed-door vote held on Friday, House Republicans nominated Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to be the next Speaker of the House—he received 124 votes. The only other candidate running against Jordan, Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA), announced he would withdraw from the race. Will Jordan be able to unify the Republican caucus and win the 217 votes necessary to be named speaker?
- Rep. John Rutherford (R-FL) told reporters on Capitol Hill that he will not vote for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) to be the next House speaker. He explained: “I am a ‘no’ on allowing Matt Gaetz, and the other seven [Republicans that ousted Kevin McCarthy], to win by putting their individual in as speaker.” Meanwhile, an optimistic Jordan told reporters: “We are going to elect a new speaker tomorrow.”
