House holds second round of speaker voting after Jordan defeat

There is a conflict emerging between allies of House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan who want him to keep going with his bid to be speaker, and Republicans who want him to back out.

It comes after Jordan lost the second round of voting on the floor of the House to elect a House speaker -- and the number of Republicans voting against him increased.

22 Republicans voted against Jordan, who was nominated by the GOP conference last week. He could lose only four votes. On Tuesday he lost 20 Republicans.

Some Jordan allies wanted him to keep going...........

.................Other Republicans are looking for other paths, including how to empower interim speaker Patrick McHenry as a way out of the stalemate..........

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

The butt kissers won't backoff until a full blow  democrat hiding AS A Republican is chosen. Then the great celebration as a candidate will be chosen.  Woke do not compromise, they infiltrate both sides and lie ceaselessly, then bawl ceaselessly after getting their way.....even here, amnesia applied LATER.
