"Jim Jordan Gains Momentum as GOP House Speaker Nominee Despite Opposition"

Hardline Republican Jim Jordan gained support for his campaign to become the next Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, aiming to overcome opposition within his own party through public votes. While it remains uncertain if he can unite enough Republicans to secure victory in the floor vote expected on Tuesday, Jordan expressed confidence in the momentum of his campaign. The ongoing Republican infighting has delayed important legislative work and stands out for its internal divisions rather than typical partisan disputes. Jordan has promised to prioritize military and spending legislation and has received endorsements from lawmakers who previously opposed him. However, some Republicans are exploring bipartisan agreements for a more centrist speaker, and if Jordan fails to secure the position, other candidates may enter the race.
