Jim Jordan’s Election Denialism Hurt Him In His First Speaker Vote

WASHINGTON - One of the 20 Republicans who voted
*AGAINST* neo-fascist republican Jim Jordan (R-Ohio)
in his bid for House speaker on Tuesday says he did so
because Jordan won’t state that Democrat Joe Biden
legitimately won the 2020 election.

Jim Jordan said he is not backing down even after 25 Republicans – the most so far – voted against him on the third speaker ballot.

No speaker vote expected on the House floor tonight.....apparently they've endured enough FAILURE for one day

From CNN's Haley Talbot

The House is set to adjourn shortly, meaning
no floor votes for speaker are expected tonight
as the GOP conference looks to decide
on their next Speaker designee.

Mike Johnson picked as new GOP speaker nominee just hours after Tom Emmer drops bid

CNN —

The House GOP picked Rep. Mike Johnson as their
latest speaker nominee Tuesday evening, though
the Louisiana Republican so far lacks the 217 votes
needed to win the gavel – the latest sign that
Republicans are still no closer to electing a new speaker
three weeks after Kevin McCarthy’s historic ouster.

The newly GOP elected Speaker Mike Johnson appears to tip more to the far right ideology than their dispelled former Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The current state of Republican party is in heavily far right mode under the Donald Trump superiority.

He (Mike Johnson) is a staunch social conservative who backed efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory(1*).

He has proposed and voted against the certification of Biden's election in many battle ground states. He also voted against Ukraine funding, and opposed LGQPT+(*2).

Under Speaker Johnson's leadership, this country may get legislated as a far right religious country.

(2*) https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/10/new-house-speaker-nominee-mike-johnson-is-an-anti-lgbtq-extremist-who-once-worked-for-a-hate-group/

From my own perspectives, Kevin McCarthy is way better than Mike Johnson as the House Speaker, Fubah2.

According to CNN, Johnson is the youngest House speaker in 140 years. But speaker job isn't recommended for those without much experience. A deal maker is required to work with both republicans and democrats to pass legislations.
