Democrats are circulating a memo containing anti-Jim Jordan talking points just hours before lawmakers are set to vote on whether to elect the Judiciary chairman as its next House speaker.
Democrats also accused Jordan of being a far-right Republican who would pull the conference further to the right rather than promote bipartisanship. The memo pointed to Jordan’s experience as the founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, which is generally considered to be the most conservative caucus in the chamber.
The memo comes just hours before the House is set to reconvene for the first time in two weeks to elect its new speaker after former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was ousted earlier this month. Jordan won the GOP nomination during a closed-door meeting with party members last week, and the Ohio Republican has been talking with House Republicans all weekend to secure the 217 votes needed to clinch the speakership when it comes to the floor.
