"Kevin McCarthy's Plan to Reclaim Speakership with Jim Jordan Signals a Shifting GOP Landscape"

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has reportedly floated a plan to return to the speakership, this time with Rep. Jim Jordan as assistant speaker. Republicans have failed to fill the speaker's chair for nearly a month due to in-fighting, with three consecutive nominees being struck down. It is unclear if the latest nominee, Rep. Mike Johnson, stands a better chance. The co-speakership proposal is uncertain and may be a desperate measure.
