House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan won the nomination for speaker in conference, and the vote was not convincing enough to go to the floor right away, so the House adjourned for the weekend to give him enough time to shore up support.
“I think he has a very, very difficult task ahead of him,” Rep. Mario Diaz Balart , who does not support Jordan, said, referencing the gap between where Jordan is and where he needs to be. “That's a really big mountain.” As a result, Jordan faces an uphill climb to convince centrist Republicans to back his nomination since several of Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s supporters, as well as some of Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s , have indicated they will not support him in the race or vote for him on the floor.
“I’m excited,” Rep. Ralph Norman said. “He got 152 on the secret ballot. That’s good. It’s different when you get to the House floor. … It’s time to elect Jim Jordan as speaker.” But Jordan wants to take the weekend to try and whip the holdouts into his corner and figure out how he will navigate the path to 217 votes.
