Despite their sometimes moderate records, vulnerable California Republicans kept backing Jim Jordan, Donald Trump's ultraconservative and ultimately failed pick for speaker.
He built his brand on being a roaring archconservative unafraid to take on liberals. He was a pioneer of this new right-wing faction that has become the face of the Republican Party. He was former President Trump's pick to lead the U.S. House of Representatives. And now, he's put California Republicans in a tough spot. Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan ended his bid to lead the lower chamber Friday after facing stiff opposition from moderates and other lawmakers in key districts.
'I have worked in good faith to be part of the solution and support our conference’s nominees, but it’s clear no candidate has the votes to be Speaker at this time,' Kim told The Times in a statement after the Friday vote. Kim said her conference should empower North Carolina Rep. Patrick T. McHenry, who is serving as speaker pro tempore, to pass critical legislation, until a leader is elected.
