Spoiler alert: It's a 'circus,' in the words of one House Republican, and there's still no clear favorite to take the gavel and resume governing.
UPDATE 10/13: On Friday afternoon House Republicans nominated Rep. Jim Jordan to be the next House Speaker by a vote of 124 to 81. Jordan’s path to the Speakership remains an uphill battle as a handful of more “moderate” Republicans have said they oppose him, the New York Times reports. As hard as it is to believe, Rep. Kevin McCarthy was removed as House Speaker just last week.
Nancy Mace , who insisted to CNN’s Jake Tapper on Thursday that she couldn’t support Scalise because of his David Duke comment, inexplicably backed Jordan and claimed some House Democrats would too. Tapper, in response, seemed unable to comprehend that she meant—as he put it—“Jim Jordan… from Ohio?” Jordan is the one, err, serious nominee for House Speaker left standing.
