"The Battle for Speaker: Democrats vs. GOP's Jim Jordan"

Democrats are developing a strategy to use Rep. Jim Jordan as a political weapon against Republicans in the next election if he becomes the next House speaker. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is urging party members and candidates to portray the entire GOP as beholden to radicals if they elect Jordan. The memo highlights Jordan's extremism, including his attempts to block the certification of President Biden's victory, noncompliance with a subpoena from the House Jan. 6 committee, and his role as a co-founder of the far-right Freedom Caucus. Democrats argue that a Jordan speakership would negatively impact working families, threaten democratic norms, and weaken relationships with allies.
