In a Monday tweet, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., announced that he would be supporting Rep. Jim Jordan's speakership bid.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, scored a major victory in his quest for the speaker's gavel on Monday. In a Monday tweet, House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., announced he would be supporting Jordan's speakership bid. Rogers was a major opponent of Jordan's push for speaker, so his flip is a big win for the Republican speaker nominee.
In fact, Rogers was adamant about not supporting Jordan for speaker, even saying last week that 'there was nothing that Jordan could do to get his support as Speaker of the House.' That changed Monday when Rogers said he and Jordan spoke twice over the weekend regarding the vote as well as House GOP priorities. ' and I have had two cordial, thoughtful, and productive conversations over the past two days,' Rogers wrote.
The secret ballot conference vote shook out to a spread of 124 votes for Jordan and 81 for Scott, showing some gaps in Jordan's support. A second secret ballot in the GOP conference came up with 55 votes against Jordan for speaker. However, Jordan had the weekend to wheel and deal to flip the holdouts against him, and Rogers' flip signals that more moderates may thaw and back the House Judiciary Committee chairman.
