"Controversial Figures and Party Loyalties: The Intriguing Dynamics within the House GOP"
TL;DR Summary
Nancy Mace, a Republican opposing Steve Scalise for US House speaker, claimed that Democrats trust Jim Jordan, the hard-right Ohioan who lost in an internal vote. However, CNN host Jake Tapper expressed skepticism, questioning Mace's assertion and asking her to name a Democrat in Congress who trusts Jordan. Mace declined to provide names but insisted that Democrats trust Jordan more than the former speaker, Kevin McCarthy. Jordan, a founder of the hard-right Freedom Caucus, has been a controversial figure due to his support for Donald Trump's election overturn efforts and refusal to cooperate with the House January 6 committee.
