"Jordan's Right-Wing Push for Speakership Sparks Controversy and Opposition"
Representative Jim Jordan and his allies have launched a right-wing pressure campaign against Republicans who oppose his bid for Speaker of the House, mobilizing the party's base voters to pressure lawmakers into supporting him. Despite winning his party's nomination, Jordan is still far from the 217 votes needed to secure the position. His supporters have taken to social media and encouraged followers to flood the Capitol switchboard with calls demanding support for Jordan, threatening right-wing retribution against holdouts. This internal Republican fighting highlights the divisions within the party and the chaos it has caused in the House of Representatives.
