Prediction on the "informal" deal:
The Dems "get" Ukraine and Israel funding--which is what most GOP want anyway. In exchange, the GOP will get some real concessions from the Dems. And the media publish the bunch of bothsides-are-dysfunctional-so-no-wonder-people-miss-Trump stories that they have queued up. |

So Jordan is going to go against the agreement and force a floor vote because he thinks the pressure will push people to his side. He's also reportedly ready to have another McCarthy-like vote and go as many votes as it takes.
I really hope the dems and moderate GOPs can come together on something. |

They'll cave to him. It's what "moderate Republicans" do.

Reading some stuff from Bulwark about this, I have my doubts that THIS is going to be the line in the sand that certain members finally grow a backbone and stand up to the Trump harassment. They shared an email multiple members of the NO JORDAN group got from Hannity's staff pressuring them to accept him, and it appears the tactic is to simply use the right-wing media to bully them into accepting Jordan, lest they upset their Trumper constituents.
I would love to believe they can withstand this, but something tells me they won't. The only thing that gives me hope is that they've been willing to allow these clowns to parade around in the background and cause a mess from relatively weak positions. But putting one in power basically breaks the dam. But then again... TRUMP, so...

Mike Rogers was a no to Jordan, but now has declared he's a yes. I'd be very surprised if this even gets to a second ballot. Jordan is the next speaker.

Right, because "do it for the party" definitely means more than "do it for the country."

Moderates are generally moderates because they are easily bought. It looks like all the dissenters are getting paid off one by one. The Radical Right only payoff is tv time.

Ann Wagner went from a Hell No to a yes for Jordan. The GOP is fully behind the insurrection.

What will be funny is when Jordan gets the exact same budget deal that McCarthy would have gotten, but MAGA praises him for it because he's Jordan.

Mike Lawler is ready to vote for Jordan.
He's going to win unanimously tomorrow. Start making plans for the inevitable shutdown next month.

Is Mace voting for him? Despite her being nuts and desperate for attention, she is actually one of the most moderate members. Was funny when she voted against McCarthy.

That is a solid theory Atocep and definitely in line with the Republican pettiness. Just like I still fully believe they are hoping for 3 articles of impeachment. It doesn't look like they will get it, but then who knows? The moderates caved here.

At least last time they didn't know about the sexual abuse scandal. And yes, Mace is for Jordan. The 2024 election is bound to be fucked with.

Not sure if it's ever been officially reported but it's an open secret that Mace had an affair with McCarthy when she got to DC. Guessing this is the wrath of an ex.

Buck doesn't vote, which screams to me that he eventually will. He just wants his cut. None of these guys have any real backbone.

And funny enough, he had endorsed Jim Jordan just today. Such a weird pull for a vote.

Probably just spineless and waiting to see how many votes were against Jordan before voting later. There's already 6 against Jordan. |

So tell me again why they can’t have electronic voting?

So there is 435 reps Jefferies is at 211 and Jordan is at 199 with 16 votes going to other guys. That means 9 votes left. What am I missing?

Just pick a normal Republican who will agree to let bills with bipartisan support reach the floor for an up or down vote. You'd get Dems on board with that.

They all quit, bowed to MAGA or got primaried. Hell, Stefanik was "normal" like 2-3 years ago. Now she made a wrestling quip to nominate Jordan. |

Stefanik is a great example of what a current republican is. She doesn't really have her own stance on anything. She goes which ever way the GOP wind is blowing and right now it's MAGA so she went from Paul Ryan understudy to Trumper overnight essentially. |

If this is true, it just gets worse for Jordan. I still believe the moderates fold, but if not the the Jordan camp misplayed this bad.

This was the worst defeat for a Jordan since Game 7 of the 1990 Eastern Conference Finals.
