The nation is in its 17th day without a speaker of the House, a chaotic logjam with impactful consequences.
For example, this unprecedented situation means the aid package President Joe Biden is requesting for wars in Israel and Ukraine can’t advance through the House, and the lower chamber can’t negotiate to avoid a shutdown before the Nov. 17 deadline.
A third speaker vote is expected at 10 a.m. Friday, but House Republicans are no closer to ending their gridlock and infighting.
The GOP is set to nominate Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, for the speakership again. Jordan faces intense opposition from at least 20 GOP lawmakers, and those holdouts have not indicated they will budge. Plus, Jordan has already lost two speaker votes.

"Integrity beyond reproach; courage to fight for a greater and brighter tomorrow; and in the spirit of unity to move our great nation forward." – That was beautiful.
HR 2 has done absolutely NOTHING for our border, because illegal immigrants are still pouring in
Remember who all these RINOs are so we can get rid of them. The RINOS DO NOT DO THE JOB THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS HIRED THEM TO DO. Those that do not vote for Jordon are RINOs.
Why do they want a Democrat speaker of the House ? We should have kept Kevin McCarthy .
The Republicans will find a new candidate for sure, they will go to the Swamp on the bottom of the Swamp will ne one there and if not we can have a Demoncrat
I willnot vote for my Congressman this year if he votes against Jordan. The Repubs are not listening to the people. I am thinking it is all about how rich they can get and not about America and the people
These people should answer how they got so rich serving the people!
They have to listen to that bullshit every day?
Jim Jordan is a leader worthy of being an outstanding President of this country even tho it is in a time of it's worst decline under a chaotic administration. VOTE FOR JIM JORDAN!
Republican Party must come together now if we want to win in 2024
ALL RINOS MUST GO.
