Maybe the MAGA trolls should threaten the wives of the anti-Jordan Republicans some more.

oh gym....

The House convened again Friday to try to fill the speaker's vacancy, more than two weeks after the historic ouster of Rep. Kevin McCarthy. Jordan won 194 votes in this round, compared to 200 in the first round on Tuesday and 199 in the second on Wednesday. The number of Republicans voting for various non-Jordan protest candidates has grown from 20, to 22, and now to 25.

Jordan loses secret ballot to remain G.O.P. nominee for speaker.

In a closed-door session, House Republicans voted against Jim Jordan continuing as their party’s nominee for speaker.
The vote came hours after Mr. Jordan failed for a third time to win election as House speaker, leaving the chamber paralyzed and Republicans with no consensus on a way forward.

McCarthy: "I'm concerned about where we go from here"
https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/house-speaker-vote-10-20-23/index.html

Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said that “unfortunately Jim is no longer going to be the nominee” after the conference’s vote to remove Jim Jordan as their Speaker designee.

“We’ll have to go back to the drawing board. What history will look at the crazy eights led by Gaetz, the amount of damage they’ve done to this party, this country, is insurmountable. I've never seen this amount of damage done with just a few people for their own personalities," McCarthy said.

“And really it's astonishing to me, and we’re in a very bad position as a party,” he said. “I’m concerned about where we go from here."

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer said it’s “too soon” when asked if he was getting in the race.
