Jim Jordan to try again for US speaker role – but Republicans will not back him
Congressman Jim Jordan is expected to try a third vote to become US house speaker, even as his Republican colleagues warned the key Donald Trump ally that their support cannot be gained by any more threats or promises.
The US house of representatives is scheduled to convene on Friday, but Republicans have no realistic or workable plan to unite the party’s fractured majority, elect a new speaker and return to the work of congress that has been languishing since hardliners ousted Kevin McCarthy as speaker at the start of the month.
