https://www.wsj.com/politics/gop-weighs-giving-patrick-mchenry-more-powers-as-jim-jordans-speaker-bid-fades-71f404d4Jim Jordan is throwing his support behind a plan to put caretaker speaker Patrick McHenry in charge of the House until January, according to a person familiar with the matter, a plan that could reopen the House after a two-week impasse.
Rank-and-file GOP lawmakers had started to lose patience with the Ohio Republican’s efforts to continue his campaign after losses on two consecutive ballots.
