  1. I think you Republicans are a bunch of Rino's. You have turned your back on your own party!!!!! You should all should be ashamed of your selves!!!!! You just helped the DemoRats to control!!!!!!

  2. PRINT THE VOTE!
    I'm voting 15 times in 2024!

  3. Democrats control the House. Great job RINO's

  4. republicans need to get a clue and quit electing MAGA extremists for speaker… they need a normal, moderate republican that can actually work with the democrats… how hard is this to figure out? seriously

  5. What about what the people want why should those rhinos get to vote I mean all those people voting the Democrats stuff shouldn't be voting we the people should be voting for Jim Jordan.

  6. We want Jeffries ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

  7. Jordan drops out of House speaker race: claims sabotage and points to Hunter Biden's laptop for proof.

  8. Jim Jordan is too dangerous for the most corrupted people in USA, he doesn't give them a chance and expose all of their corruption details to the world. Some won't like him for sure.

  9. Aside from the magat republicunts no one else likes gymshorts jordon, he has done nothing for this country and the people

  10. Proving GOP sucks. Nobody is going get 217.

  11. This is what happens when someone has way too much confidence for themselves.

  12. THESE REPORTERS ARE A JOKEโ€ฆ. They let Republicanโ€™s walk all over them..

  13. He didn't drop out, he got pushed out by his fellow GOP.๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  14. And the embarrassment lives on within the Republican crazies. As the country is at a stand still bc of their pathetic tug a war and foolish game.

  15. To his credit the vast majority of Americans believe Rep. Jordan should be …………..
    INDICTED ๐Ÿ™‚

  16. Chaos is democrats hypocrisy and theyre cheering this happens with Reps because as they are a failure in the states they lead and the corruption of his president.

  17. AND, IT WAS NEVER, GONNA BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE LAST SECRET VOTE, GOT HIM, WHERE HE LIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COMPLETE, REJECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  18. He didn't drop out… he was forced out by a secret vote of the Republicans

  19. Poor Gym, maybe he should run for OSU AD instead

  20. They want Cruz to lead us into WWWIII.

  21. Him and the Freedom Caucus, influenced by Trump, still hoping to be in POWER come next election, in continued denying the TRUTH election result, was always a losing cause

  22. Good riddance Jimmy boy!

  23. You are smarter than i thought you were๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  24. WHAT JIM JORDAN THINK? HE SPEAKER๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…? FIRST GOO BUY 1 NICE TY. TRUMPIS LIAR JIMY

  25. Jordan you are despicable, for sixteen years you been in congress you have done nothing constructive,just a total waste of time and you being made speaker will make you better. you are a waste of time.

  26. Trump's Coup 2.0 is falling apart.

  27. Nothing makes me happier than Jordan backing out. He was such a cocky guy I hope this shuts him up and make him realize he doesnโ€™t have ant power he just has a BIG MOUTH.

  28. How about one of those pages?

  29. Hopefully, for good this time. Why do Ohio voters continue to send this rabble rouser back to Washington to not do the job he was hired to do, and a job for which he appears to be unqualified for?

    It's hard to believe that the people of Ohio District 4 want a Representative who has occupied a Congresseional seat since 2007, without ever sponsoring a bill in the House to improve the lives of his constituents, or the ordinary American? This is a man who hold the dishonor of sitting in contempt of Congress, and yet has the sheer audacity to want to sit as its leader. I can't fathom that logic. No one should be paid a salary of $175,000 a year, given a large office staff, medical care, a generous expense account, and the other rights and privileges of a member of Congress, including the ability to raise money, tax free, for his campaigning, for non performance. The man has learned so little about politics that even a majority of his fellow Republicans reject him. Wise up and vote him out.

  30. Don't you have this feeling that this handful of MAGA MAGGOTS, are doing the bidding of what Putin wants for them to do and that is to disrupt the congress while Putin trys and make a push on Ukraine, And Iran and it's alis attacking innocent people. So with Congress disabled, they are free to wheel about.

  31. 0:16 Done being humiliated? Now, WHOM, other than #HakeemJeffries, is fit to hold the speaker's gavel?

  32. Another on Jordan's long list of failures.
