"Jim Jordan's Potential as Speaker: Uniting or Catastrophic?"
TL;DR
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) believes he is the only one who can unite the fractious House Republican conference as they prepare to vote for a new speaker next week. Jordan, who quickly threw his hat into the ring to replace Kevin McCarthy, claims to have a broad coalition backing him. He is locked in a struggle for the job with McCarthy's deputy, Rep. Steve Scalise, while a third candidate, Rep. Kevin Hern, is also seeking the position. Jordan's candidacy received a boost from former President Donald Trump, who endorsed him. The formal speaker vote is expected on Wednesday.
