"Speaker Crisis: Mainstream Republicans Spark Revolution and Hit New Low Point in House"

Mainstream House Republicans, frustrated with their anti-establishment colleagues, are launching a revolution against GOP Speaker nominee Jim Jordan. A group of 22 Republicans, including those from swing districts and safe ones, opposed Jordan on a second Speaker ballot. This organized move against Jordan, the founding chairman of the confrontational House Freedom Caucus, is a response to his brand of combative politics and his lack of skill sets needed to be an effective Speaker. Some Republicans are considering working with Democrats to empower Speaker Pro Tempore Patrick McHenry as the conference fails to coalesce around a Speaker.
