One House Republican is confident that House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) will become the next House speaker, but he expects it may take more than one vote to get Mr. Jordan there.
House Republicans voted 124-81 on Friday to select Mr. Jordan as the next House speaker, but some Republican holdouts kept Mr. Jordan’s speakership chances in question going into the weekend. On Monday, Rep. Keith Self (R-Texas) told NTD News that he worked with his colleagues throughout the weekend and has now begun sharing a message throughout the House Republican conference.
