Gaetz presses Jordan to go after Speaker job
by Brad Dress - 12/26/22 9:24 AM ET

Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) said over the weekend that his Christmas wish is for his Republican colleague, Jim Jordan (Ohio), to run to be the next Speaker of the House.

“All I want for Christmas is @Jim_Jordan to realize he should be Speaker of the House!” Gaetz wrote in a Saturday tweet.

Gaetz, who has repeatedly spoken out against House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) taking up the Speaker’s gavel, followed up that tweet with another on Sunday asking his followers to encourage Jordan to run for top House spot.

The Florida lawmaker has previously supported Jordan for the post, telling Fox News in August that Jordan was the “hardest-working” and the “most talented member” in his more conservative base.

Jordan, who will chair the House Judiciary Committee when the GOP assumes the majority next month, has not announced plans to run for the leadership post.

Jordan sadly knows and understands that upsetting the GOP MCC capitulation squish team (-onnell -arthy) is political suicide.

At this point Gaetz has few choices left, and needs to plan to fight another day.

I could live with Jordan.

We aren't going to get any legislation passed, but there needs to be massive investigations and exposure.

Somebody up there needs to acquire some massive stones.

I think he would be a good pick as well.
