Jim Jordan’s bid for Speaker of the House is failing, and it represents how the GOP has prioritized personal interest over governing.
It seems watching Rep. Kevin McCarthy go through 15 rounds of speaker votes before finally clinching the role in January wasn't embarrassing enough, so the GOP continues to outdo itself. Earlier this month, eight members of the House Freedom Caucus spearheaded McCarthy's ouster in a no-confidence vote over a temporary stopgap measure to prevent a government shutdown.
The mood is not good at the Capitol, where, according to The New York Times, House Republicans spent Thursday 'fighting among themselves in closed-door meetings, trading blame and insults' as they tried to figure out what to do next.
