“As someone who wants Jim Jordan, the dumbest thing you can do is to continue pissing off those people,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw of Texas said of the controversial strategy.
Jordan allies are hoping that when House members return to Capitol Hill after the weekend recess, it will generate local pressure from the GOP base for the party to rally around the Ohio congressman, who has forged close ties with former President Donald Trump. “Everybody’s going to go home, listen to their constituents, and make a decision,” said Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee. “Honestly, the grassroots, there’s nobody stronger” than Jordan.
“When I ask people who are taking that tack, I’m like, ‘Did that work on you, when you were one of the 20 against McCarthy, and everybody was bashing you?’” he added. “Everybody’s got to grow up, get it together. If there’s differences, let’s sort them out.” It’s been clear that Jordan will face an uphill battle since his nomination on Friday, after which a second private vote revealed that 55 members were opposed to his speakership.
